How to change number formatting
 
You can use Excel formatting to format the cells. Go to FormatCells.
Under the Number tab, select Special in the left box and Social Security
Number in the right box. If this is not an option, choose Custom in the
left box, then type in 000-00-0000 in the right box. In my opinion, this is
better than trying to format a number in a macro.

HTH.

I have a spreadsheet that for Social Security #'s format requested was for

000000000; now I have been asked to change to reflect the formatting of
000-00-0000. Is there a formula that I can use that change the formatting
without having to retype over 1000 SS#'s.
