Formatting Text in cells that already have text entered
One last thing, after copying that formula down to create an entire row,
highlight the whole range, COPY, EDITPasteSpecialValues.
Now you can delete the original data and use the new codes.

It needs to have a space or a symbol between the 2 letters and the 4 numbers.
Thanks!

I have approx several thousand cells all with the same info, let's say SSNs.
They are in the cell as 123456789. I need to format all cells in this column
with the format 123-45-6789. Obviously, I'm not using SSNs, but I'm using
characters that I need formatted into abcde-12345-fg. Is there a way to
custom format these so that it applies to all of these cells instead of me
altering each one by hand???
Thanks,
Jennifer
Could you just list a couple examples of how your real data is currently entered
and then show how you want it formatted?
