    Remove symbol

    I copy and paste market values from a site into excel and it pastes the a space and $ as part of the value. Ex: _$834,570. Is there a formula I can write to remove the first two characters from left?

    If the prefix is there by formatting then change the format to General, otherwise
    =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-2)*1
