delete numbers in each cell in same column

Is there an easy way to just delete the first two numbers in each cell all
the way down the column? i.e. 123456789 to 3456789? Would I have to create
a helper column; put in a formula for the removal of the first two numbers
then cut and paste on the column I want to adjust? If so, can you tell me
specifically how to do this and why I am this specific formula to achieve
this action....... Thank you!

With your data in Col A try the below in B1 and copy down as required

=MID(A1,3,LEN(A1))+0

If this post helps click Yes

You could use a formula=RIGHT(A6,LEN(A6)-2) and copy down in a helper
column.
OR
sub droptwo()
mc="a" 'column A
for i=1 to cells(rows.count,mc).end(xlup).row
cells(i,mc).value=right(cells(i,mc),len(cells(i,mc )-2)
next i
end sub

So if I type/cut & paste this formula into B1 and then "copy down as
required" (how do I achieve the "copy down as required?) this will remove the
first two digits in each cell below B1 for the entire column?

If you have data in cell A1 as 123456789 copy paste the formula in B1 will
return 3456789. Once done you can ........

1. Copy the cell B1 (not the formula). Select the range down. Keeping the
selection Right clickPaste SpecialFormulasOK

OR

2. Select B1. Click the selection handle. Drag as required.

OR

3. Select B1. Copy cell. Select the range down. Press Enter

I think the copy down has been explained to you. For my macro

You can use TTC and not have to use formulas or helper columns.

Select the data in the column, then, from the Menu Bar,
Data Text To Columns Fixed Width Next,

In the second step of the Wizard, click in the "Data Preview" window to
place the break line between the 2nd and 3rd digits.

Then Next

In the 3rd step of the Wizard, you'll see that the first 2 numbers are
selected (colored black), and in their own column.

NOW, click on "Do Not Import - Skip", which will skip that selected column
containing the first 2 numbers.

Finally click Finish, and you're done.

Your numbers, minus the first two digits, are all that remain in the Column.
