- I have a large Excel database (spreadsheet) that has (among other things)
- two fields that have the name and phone number in this format:
-
- LASTNAME 306 555 1212
-
- (The phone number is all one field)
-
- I would like to convert this to
-
- LASTNAME 306-555-1212
-
- I haven't had much luck trying to figure out how to do this. Has anyone
- got any suggestions on how I can do this? I tried recording a macro
- to do this, but the macro hard-codes the result from when I recorded it,
- so EVERY field gets the converted result from the first time. If you
- know how I can accomplish this, please email me!
-
- Thanks in advance...
- Dave
