removing dashes from phone numbers
i have a column of phones numbers with the format 555-111-2222 and I want to
remove the dashes so that they are 5551112222 so that I can use a vertical lookup. What's the easiest way to do this? |

You can use Edit Find to open the find/replace window.
Then find - and replace with nothing. Click Replace all -- Gary's Student "Brad" wrote: i have a column of phones numbers with the format 555-111-2222 and I want to remove the dashes so that they are 5551112222 so that I can use a vertical lookup. What's the easiest way to do this? |

In addition to Jason's suggestion, you can also select all the phone #s and
do a Find & Replace, replacing the "-"s with ""s "Brad" wrote: i have a column of phones numbers with the format 555-111-2222 and I want to remove the dashes so that they are 5551112222 so that I can use a vertical lookup. What's the easiest way to do this? |
