We can use a RegEx parse with below.

0+([1-9]\d+)

@YLYONG, text to column reads only 1 delimiter, so in case you want to remove starting 000 you can try this,

Formula:

if StartsWith([P. TU ID],"000") then
tonumber(ReplaceFirst([P. TU ID],"000",""))
else tonumber([P. TU ID]) endif

 

I hope this helps!

 

Thanks!

Hi, @YLYONG 

 

the easy formula for you, also can add tonumber() for the outside if need.

 

TrimLeft(tostring([P. TU ID]),'0')
