How do I add digits to all numbers in a column?
I have a large database of phone numbers. some are 10 digits, and some are
only 7. I need all numbers that are 7 digits to have the same area code added to the front. Is there a way to do this other than manually? |

Show us both a 10 digit number and a 7 digit number. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "MysticalWaters79" wrote in message ...

I would create a new column with the new numbers in them. How you convert
them depends on how your numbers are store. If they are straight text, you can use something like: =if(len(a1)=10,A1,"306"&a1) If they have some other format, you can adapt the above, or post back with details.
