Changing the format of a phone number
 

Spreadsheet A has the phone number in one cell formatted like:

(123) 456-7890

Spreadsheet B has the phone number separated in three separate columns like:

123 456 7890

I used the CONCANTENATE function to string the text together, but if the
phone number has a 0 starting the group it isn't showing up in my new cell.
What am I doing wrong? See below:
Phone
(360) 929-2001 360 929 2001
(425) 971-9043 425 971 9043

Changing the format of a phone number
 

=TEXT(A2,"000")&" "&TEXT(B2,"000")&"-"&TEXT(C2,"0000")


replace the cell reference with the real one you are using

No need to use the CONCATENATE function if that's what you are doing, the
ampersand works the same way
