remove text with format code for phone numbers
If you have the numbers with actual ()- and spaces then search for them ()-
one by one and replace... If they are displayed with formatting then simply choose Number format without decimals.

remove text with format code for phone numbers
Hi Jan,
Use this formula: =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""),"-",""),"(",""),")","") i presume the number is in cell A1, this is basically a nested substiute formula to remove the characters (,),- and spaces. -- Kind Regards, Satti Charvak Only an Excel Enthusiast Noida, India "Sheeloo" wrote: If you have the numbers with actual ()- and spaces then search for them ()- one by one and replace...
