Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
If its always 2 characters and a space, then
=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-3)

Well, am not certain that can be done, considering your examples

If you had only one space like

CT MuSLIA
GT JAMES
KT SURAN

Then using find("?? ") and replacing with blank("") will work for removing the first 2 characters and a space

but because you have multiple spaces, I really cant say how to make it work

Note that the Find and replace doesnt require the quotes as i posted above
