I use the code librarian that came with Excel 2000 Developer, but I always
have trouble re-installing it when I rebuild, so I am thinking of going with
KeyNote.

Save what?

Just the formula for future use?

I keep a workbook handy where I stick all such stuff with an explanation
of
what it does.

Several worksheets.......Indirect, Sumproduct, Vlookup

Copy the formula and paste it.

Precede it with an apostrophe so's it is visible as text.

I keep that workbook always open for testing.

I also store macros and code in several modules named appropriately in an
add-in which is always loaded for testing code.

One more thing, is there anyway to save this in excel so I can get to it
quickly without having to refer to any notes?

Isn't it as simple as changing
=TEXT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",""),"(###) ###-####")
to
=TEXT(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",""),10),"(###) ###-####") ?

Why wouldn't that work?

This is also a good start, which is more of what I'm looking for,
however
I
now have a 4 digit area code because of the on before the number. Is
there a
way to do this and remove just the 1 before the before number? All
the
other
functions I've tried removes all the ones in the phone number which is
not
what I want to do.

I have phone numbers in two different formats:
1. 1-123-456-7890 (11 digits w/dashes)
2. 1234567890 (10 digits only)

How can I convert the first format into the standard format in
excel
for
phone numbers of (###) ###-####?

I know the second format will do it automatically.

Thanks in advance for your help.
