If the cells are numeric, you could use a custom format:

format|cells|custom category
000000-00-0

The value in the cells won't change, but what is shown will.

Hello everyone,

Is there an easy way to insert dashes (-) into existing data. For
example, I want to insert dashes into the following data 123456789, I
want it to look like this, 123456-78-9. I have many records to do this
to, so any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.
