excel, cell value in entire column reduce by 4 digits
Column of 12 digit values, reduce entire column by 4 digits, in this case eliminate the 4 zeroes from 12 digit so they become 8 digit numbers

As an alternative, you could Copy the column with the LEFT formula (I presume) and Paste it onto itself As Values.
