Perhaps:
=MID(A1,2,8)
This would assume your data is text, and that there is only
ONE leading
space (hence the "2" for beginning at the second
space. If there were 2
leading spaces, use "3", etc. The "8"
could be anything, but it needs to be
the number of characters you have. If the number of
characters varies, I
believe you will be OK if you choose the number based on the
largest number
of characters in any one cell.
