Change 1234567890 to 123-456-7890
Just out of curiosity, are you seeing a bunch of # symbols in the cell? Is
so, try widening the column. Rick "Rick Rothstein (MVP - VB)" wrote in message ... Describe "no luck"... what does happen (that is, what do you see in the cell)? Rick "ann" wrote in message ... I am trying to do the opposite for what everyone else has been asking for help in resolving a phone number issue. I want to key in each cell nine digits and have it automatically format into a phone number format as shown in my subject. I have gone to Format/Cells/Number to select the Special Type for Phone numbers, no luck. The won't change. Then I thought I would create a custom format of both ###-###-#### and (###)###-####, once again no luck. I have tried everything short of pulling out my hair. Does any one have any suggestions? |
