I am seeing the answer in your Subject itself.

Try this...

Now your Format is like this # ### ###
You just change it to ### ####

Place your cursor in A1 cell and do right click from your mouse and select
Format CellsNumberCategoryCustomType field past this ### ####

Now it will be changed.

I think I found the answer.

I thought that it was formatted like # ### ###, but when I go through the
numbers once again (6 555 555) I found that the data consist manual spaces.

Just Select the Column in which the data are lying or select the range and
press Cntrl+H and in Find What Box give a space and in Replace with field
leave it as blank. Now hit Replace All. Finally Select the range and apply
the below format.

Format CellsNumberCategoryCustomType field past this ### ####
