Default Format alphanumeric field in Excel

I'm trying to format a text column in Excel to include dashes, but
cannot get this to work for a text field. For example, if i have an
account number that includes numbers and letters, I would like anyone
using the spreadsheet to type the account number, but have the cell
automatically add the dashes (567HA-4B). I don't see any way to do
this if the field contains non-numeric characters. Can anyone help
please?
