Convert number to phone number
I am doing a mail merge and one of the fields is a phone number. I format it
in excel to look like a phone number but when I merge it just comes over as seven numbers - no parens, no dash, etc. Ideally I'd like to still enter it as a straight number, as I am now, but have another field that could "translate" it into the following format: (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Thanks! |
