remove +1

Is there a formula to remove +1 ? I currently have leads posting from meta and by default they all populate on my sheet with a leading +1 that I would like to remove automatically.

You should be able to do this a few ways depending on if the format of the number is constant.

This function finds the + sign and replaces 2 characters with "". If there is a space between the + and the 1 you would need to replace 3 characters.

=REPLACE([Column7]@row, FIND("+", [Column7]@row), 2, "")

Another option would be:

=RIGHT([Column7]@row, 12)

Is there a formula that can be added to this that keeps my existing data. When I convert this formula to the row it removes my data and puts #INVALID VALUE

Hi I was able to fix this, which now I have a new question. I have a Dupilcate check column

=IF(COUNTIF(Phone:Phone, Phone@row) > 1, 1)

Does this Dupe check formula not work when a row consists of a formula ? example Phone row is no longer a value 555-555-5555 it is now a formula =REPLACE([Column7]@row, FIND("+", [Column7]@row), 2, "") referencing a seperate column that is a phone number value
