Automatically place hyphen
I want to set up a column that in each row I can enter numbers,
ex.123-45678-9-0 without having to enter the hypens. Is there formula that I can input that will let me just type all the numbers and automatically have the hypen in place?. |

Automatically place hyphen
If you just want to display/print the numbers with the hyphens, choose
Format/Cells/Number/Custom and enter 000-00000-0-0 as the format.
