I'm trying to clean up some data that contains phone numbers that were
exported out of a employee database and imported into an Excel file. Each
employee's data makes up one row of data in the Excel file, and the phone
numbers of all employees are in cells in one column. The phone numbers for
some employees have the area code while the area code is missing in the phone
numbers for the other employees. Is there some method, other than manually
editing each cell containing a phone number that's missing the area code,
that I can use to add the area code to only those employee phone numbers that
are missing the area code?
