Assume that you are having the value in A1 cell like the below:-
A1 cell 0056 4 65 Paste the below formula in B1 cell =VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")) Change the cell reference to your desired cell, if required.

How to arrange number?
If the Number is within 15 digits then format the cell like the below:
Select the range and do Right Click and select Format CellsNumberCategoryCustom paste the below format ###########0000 Or ############### If the number is exceeding 15 digits then you need to use the formula like below: ="'"&VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")) But the above formula will result you text character instead of Original Numbers.

Select the entire column, then click on Format Column Autofit (in Excel 2003). I would format it as Number. Then, if the cell is not wide enough, you will see "####", which is the normal signal that tells you that the cell is not wide enough. But I would not convert text (the original phone numbers) to numbers in the first place. That will change any phone number that can be more than 15 characters without leading zeros and interstitial blanks. (Is that possible with some international phone numbers?) Returning to your original question, I would do: =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""),"0","") You may still need to widen the column. ----- original message ----- "Sherees" wrote: Hi Thank u for ur reply, when i pasted ur formula its showing a number like this 9.66501E+11 i want the number without decimal value coz these are mobile numbers with country code and could u pls tell me why it shows a number like 9.66501E+11(this) -- Life isa journey not a destination "Ms-Exl-Learner" wrote: Assume that you are having the value in A1 cell like the below:- A1 cell 0056 4 65 Paste the below formula in B1 cell =VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")) Change the cell reference to your desired cell, if required.

How to arrange number?
Hi Joe,
I dont think so widening of columns will work if the number Exceeds 12 digits when it is formatted as General. If cell is in General format and widening of column will also result the same 1.23457E+13 error. PS: Appending an apostrophe like that is not the same as typing an apostrophe manually. In the case above, the apostrophe actually becomes part of the string, and it is displayed. I'm sure that is not what you intended. Yes, I though that using apostrophe in front of value function will mark the cell as text entry and it will show the numbers exactly even though the length of the number goes beyond 16 digits. But now I realize that this is the wrong assumption. But I am seeing the same error in your below formula also, ="'"&VALUE("1234567890123456") Have you applied the above formula in excel? Because the Length of the Number is exceeding 15 digits, so it will get the wrong result even though the cell is formatted as numbers. You can notice that the end value Six will be changed into zero after pasting the above formula in a cell. I think there is no benefit of using the apostrophe in front of the value function, because Value is working with the same methodology like Number format. Since both Number format and Value functions are showing the correct results when the length of the Number is upto 15 digits. Finally about the below formula, substituting of 0 (zero) will remove all the zeros and result you the text numbers without any zeros. =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""),"0","") But the OP is looking to remove the leading zeros like 00020680089005089046 to 20680089005089046. But the above formula will result 2688958946. -------------------- (Ms-Exl-Learner) -------------------- "Joe User" wrote: "Ms-Exl-Learner" wrote: Select the range and do Right Click and select Format CellsNumberCategoryCustom paste the below format ....

I think we can use the Value function for the partial data for removing the
leading zeros like the below:- =IF(A1="","","'"&SUBSTITUTE(VALUE(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE( A1," ",""),10))&MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""),11,255)," ","")) OR =IF(A1="","","'"&VALUE(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""),10))&MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""),11,255)) -------------------- (Ms-Exl-Learner) -------------------- "Joe User" wrote: "Ms-Exl-Learner" wrote: Select the range and do Right Click and select Format CellsNumberCategoryCustom paste the below format ....
