Delete two letters at the front

I have a column with different values, and not all of them of the same length e.g.: HJ334XT35, or PN38R3 and I want to delete the two letters at the front for all of them, so it will become 34234GF335 and 38R3. How do I achieve this?

@rafatomillero I'd use something like the Right() function for this, combined with a Length() function so that Alteryx only takes everything to the right of the first 2 characters:

Find attached two ways of doing that.

 

Let me know if there is any issue.

 

Please do not hesitate to mark this answer as solution if it helped.

You can use Trim([Field],"") or Replace([Field]," ","") or cleansing tool and select remove all whitespaces
