Converting data in column to Phone Format
 
I have a spread sheet with a column of phone numbers typed in different
formats. E.g. (416) 425 1234, 416-425-1234, 4164251234, 416 425 1234, etc.
How do I a do format for the entire column that will convert all values typed
to read (416) 425-1234 or the standard phone format?

I have had to do Social Security numbers once and saved this in case I had to
do it again!

On the Format menu, click Cells.
On the Number tab, click Special in the Category list.
In the Type list, click Zip Code, Zip Code + 4, Phone Number, or Social
Security Number.

Hope it helps!
