strings, but, you can apply the following array formula to solve it.

1. Please type this array formula:
=MID(A2,MATCH(TRUE,(MID(A2,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))),1)<>"0"),0),LEN(A2)) (A2
is the cell that you want to remove the leading zeros from) into a blank cell
where you want to get the result, C2, for example, and then press Ctrl + Shift +
Enter keys together to get the correct result, see screenshot:



2. And then select the cell C2 and drag the fill handle down to the cells that
you want to contain this formula, all the leading zeros have been removed from
the text strings, see screenshot:

3. And then save and close this code, go back to the worksheet, and enter this
formula: =removeleadingzeros(A2) (A2 is the cell that you want to remove the
leading zeros from) into a blank cell, then drag the fill handle down to the
cells which you want to apply this formula, and all the leading zeros have been
deleted from the text strings, see screenshot:
