Changing Phone number format
I have a sheet that I would like to convert data over to. But all the phone
numbers on the sheet have this format ###+###-#### and I would like to convert it to ###-###-#### so basically I just need the + replaced with a - when the record is entered into the table. I know this is easy but im not familiar with at excel functions Thanx |

The "4" is to move over 4 characters to the right (416+) It will stop at the +. The "1" is to replace only ONE char to the right, where you choose to start in the text string. (the 4 over) And the "-" is what you want to replace the + with. 416+896-8229 =REPLACE(A1,4,1,"-") Hope that helps! -LT |

Highlight the column of phone numbers to be changed, then do Edit Replace
and then follow the menus........ Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Noncentz303" wrote: I have a sheet that I would like to convert data over to.
