It has been given that the digits in the number should appear in the ascending order. Therefore, there is only 1 possible arrangement of the digits once they are selected to form a number.
There are 9 numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) in total.
2 digit numbers can be formed in $$9C_2$$ ways.
3 digit numbers can be formed in $$9C_3$$ ways.

..9 digit number can be formed in 9C9 ways.
We know that $$nC_0+nC_1+nC_2+.........+nC_n =2^n$$
=> $$9C_0 + 9C_1+9C_2+....9C_9 = 2^9$$
$$9C_0 + 9C_1 + ...9C_9 = 512$$
We have to subtract $$9C_0$$ and $$9C_1$$ from both the sides of the equations since we cannot form single digit numbers.
=> $$9C_2 + 9C_3+...+9C_9=512-1-9$$
$$9C_2+9C_3+...+9C_9=502$$

Therefore, $$502$$ is the right answer.
