Default Formatting Phone Numbers in Excel 2007 Help

No you won't, it was an extra that came with the Excel 2000 Developer
edition (which I still have).

Bob,
I don't see a code librarian in Excel 2007 under the Developer Tab. Did
they remove it or should I look somewhere else for it?
Thanks

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.
