I need a formula that will delete the first seven characters in every cell in
a column. Thanks

Hi Randy

in another column
=MID(A1,8,255) copy down as far as required.
Then, copy the new column and Paste Special>Values to "fix "the data

Best try on a copy of your data to begin with - just in case!!!

Sorry I wasn't more specific - I actually have a range of 50 cells in the
same column that I want to apply the formula to. Would it be written as
=Right(A1-A50,LEN(A1-A50)-7)?

Try Text to Columns, Fixed width, do not import first column.
