Default Function to uniformerly format different phone numbers

Hi everyone,

I have a situation where a column contains phone numbers, but all numbers
are written differently. Some have areas codes and some don't. For example:

COLUMN A
5742229384
5593857382
2283018
2201929184
3324838

SEE -some have the area code listed, and some don't. Is there a way to
format the entire column so they look like this:

(574) 222-9384
(559) 385-7382
228-3018
(220) 192-9184
332-4838

I'm familiar with the input mask found in Format cells / special, but it
doesn't give me the right results because some phone numbers don't have an
area code.

Can anyone help? Thanks so much!
