You could use this formula in an adjacent cell and copy it down the
column, then copy the results and paste special values over the
original data (if you want to replace the data ONLY) then remove the
calculated column.

=IF(LEN(A1)5,MID(A1,1,5) & "-" & MID(A1,6,50),A1)


Of course, if the zip code has a leading zero, as mine does, your formula does
not give useful results:

046670208

Your formula gives: 46670-208 when a more useful result would be 04667-0208

See my response for a different solution.
