Default Simple conversion

Ctrl + h then find what -
replace with .

then a custom format


or a help cell

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",".")

then copy and paste special as values

...
I have a column of numbers such as:
030-000
033-020
033-030
123-456
I would like to convert these numbers to:
030.000
033.020
033.030
123.456

What is the best way to accomplish this?
I would like to keep six digits even if the number begins with "0" or ends
with "000".

Thanks in advance.
