concatenating phone number "segments"
Hello:
If you have a phone number in a cell such as 800.555.1212, what formula do you write for that cell to make it 8005551212? Thanks! childofthe1980s |

concatenating phone number "segments"
My personal favorite thing to to is to remove all non-numeric characters and
then use a custom number format to make the number look like a telephone number again something like (###) ###-####. That being said numeric format will not work with multiple periods. So if your heart is set on periods then you need to use the formula =LEFT(A1, 3) & "." & MID(A1,4,3) & "." & RIGHT(A1, 4) -- HTH...

I think perhaps you want to do the opposite of this (remove the periods, not
add them) - if so that could be done by =SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","") "Jim Thomlinson" wrote: My personal favorite thing to to is to remove all non-numeric characters and then use a custom number format to make the number look like a telephone number again something like (###) ###-####.

and replace on the period "." and you should be ggod to go... -- HTH...
