Need Specific Values to the Column

Hello All,

I am trying to only have the unique ID starting from 08, which is a 12 char ID. I have this column where some have a number ahead of the unique ID and some cells in that column have date after the 08 unique ID. Can i please get help for a solution, where i just need the "08" twelve digit unique id in the column and delete the other text before and after the ID.Parent ID.PNG
