Content: In our example, for the value 001AN76, it would give 3 (which is the position of 1 in the original text string). 1 is added to the result of the FIND formula, to make sure that we get the entire text string extracted (except the leading zeros)
The result of the FIND formula is then subtracted from the result of the LEN formula (which is used to give the length of the entire text string). This gives us the length of the text ring without the leading zeros. This value is then used with the RIGHT function to extract the entire text string (except the leading zeros). In case there is a possibility that there may be leading or trailing spaces in your cells, it’s best to use the TRIM function with every cell reference. So the new formula with the TRIM function added would be as shown below: =RIGHT (TRIM (A2),LEN (TRIM (A2))-FIND (LEFT (SUBSTITUTE (TRIM (A2),"0",""),1),TRIM (A2))+1)
So, these are some easy ways that you can use to remove leading zeros from your data set in Excel. I hope you found this tutorial useful! Other Excel tutorials you may like: Hide Zero Values in Excel | Make Cells Blank If the Value is 0
