I need to change a cell with ten digits to include the phone number format
characters. Not just in the "view", but in the actual cell. The cell
needs
to be changed from "1234567890" to "(123) 456-7890", including the space
after the area code. I am importing an excel file of phone numbers and
the
contents need to be exact. Any suggestions?
