Default Is it just me or is this tricky?

Hi

I get the telephone numbers, using the sample data you posted.
I guess your numbers are Text and not numbers, that would give 0's
throughout the PT.

Format your Tel No column as FormatCellsNumberCustom 00000000000
Enter a 1 into a blank cell on your sheet. Copy that cell.
Mark your range of numbers and Paste SpecialMultiply. This will turn them
to numerics.
Refresh the PT and you should see the result as required.

Regards
