Phone Number formatting
Chris,
Maybe a Worksheet event to format the cell; the following is a "Starter" but maybe needs code to check length of input and check target address if just one cell. Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) On Error GoTo wsexit If Target.Column < 1 Then GoTo wsexit '<==== not coulmn A Application.EnableEvents = False Target.Value = Format(Replace(Target.Value, " ", ""), "0#### ######") wsexit: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub "ChrisMattock" wrote: Hi all, I have a cell that NEEDS to be of the following format: 0#### ###### I have set this up under formatting, custom... and when I type a number like this... 01304999999 I get the result 01304 999999 PERFECT!

Phone Number formatting
Hi Chris,
the STD code of a (UK) phone number is not always 5 characters - you can have 4, 5 6 or 7, and phone numbers themselves can vary in length - how would you want to display 118118, for example? I find it better to treat phone numbers as text, so the leading zero(s) are preserved and to just display them as is without any extra spaces. I know this is not what you are asking, but ... hope this helps.
