I am looking for a formula to remove ID numbers from an Excel Spreadsheet
Hi Excel Experts,
I have a spreadsheet with a column named "Event". "Event" has about 300 rows in it with data that look like this:
214;"a-classical-voice-com petition-f or-singing -in-englis h"
and
23;"an-evening-of-dinner-a nd-music"
In some cases the numbers have 3 digits, in some they have 2 digits
I want to remove the digits before the semicolon. Also the semi colon should be removed.
The end result would have data that looks like this
"a-classical-voice-competi tion-for-s inging-in- english"
"an-evening-of-dinner-and- music"
I'm using Microsoft Office 365
I'd appreciate any solutions you can give me.
Thanks!
Rowby

I guess I should have given some points to the others, including Ryan Chong for his information. But I didn't see Ryan Chong's comment before awarding the points. Not sure if the points can be adjusted.
But in any case thanks everyone.
