Example of the text I'm working with in Excel.
Hablar
yo: hablo
tú: hablas
él/ella/Ud.: habla
nosotros: hablamos
vosotros: habláis
ellos/ellas/Uds.: hablan
=LEFT(Text,4)
=Habl
=Habl
...
This will take first four letters out easy enough, but if I want all but these first four letters I would have to use =Right(text,1) =Right(text,4) depending on the word.
Is there a way in which I could solve this with one or two functions?

If you want to strip the first four characters from the phrase, you can use the MID() function
=mid(A1,5,99)
In words, starting from the 5th character, return the following 99 characters. If there are fewer than 99 characters, all of them will be returned.
