Column A contains the phone # in the format XXX-XXX-XXXX
Column B =LEFT(A12,3)
Column C =MID(A12,5,3)
Column D =RIGHT(A12,4)

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Bill Horton

I need to break up a phone number into three different columns. I have
column A that contains the phone number xxx-xxx-xxxx, I need to split
that up into three different columns. Column B would equal the area
code... column C would equal the Prefix.. and column D would equal the
digits..

any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

thanks
