Need help with a formula...
I need a formula that will allow a set of numbers to go from this:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to this: xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx Every formula I've come across will only let me add three hyphens to a set of numbers, where as, I need to add four. I really don't want to have to do this manually. The hyphens in the example are placed where I actually need them to be. Can anyone help?! |

If your number is in A1: =TEXT(A1,"0000-0000-0000-00") Or you can just custom format the cell using that code: Number / Format / Custom / Type: 0000-0000-0000-00 |

Hi Sarah,

But you have to modify them: Formula for value in A1: =TEXT(A1,"00000-0000-0000-00") or Number / Format / Custom / Type: 00000-0000-0000-00 Regards Claus B. -- Win XP PRof SP2 / Vista Ultimate SP2 Office 2003 SP2 /2007 Ultimate SP2 |

Oh, these poor aging eyes. Thanks for picking up the extra "x" I missed. Hopefully, that is what Sarah noted when she wrote that neither worked. |
