Cell Formatting Removing Dashes
I am working with Excel, trying to remove dashes from Text "000-000-000-000"
but still keep zeros. The cell MUST keep all 12 digits including zeros for it to work for me. The data is imported from a report program as delimited text, and then I have to import the data to Access for a different program. HELP!!!!! |
