If the letter "a" is part of your entry, XL interprets the value as
Text, and you can't use number formatting. A helper column could contain: =TEXT(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1),"000-000-000") & RIGHT(A1,1) If you just have the number in the cell, and want to display "a" after it, one way is: Format/Cells/Number/Custom 000-000-000\a In article , "Greg Brow" wrote: I have a series of numbers 123456789 and it is followed with a letter a I need to show on a worksheet in this format 123-456-789a I cant work out how to set the cell i have tried 000-000-000 but not sure how to get it to recognise the letter after |
