Hi,

Assuming you first entry is in A1, put this in b1

=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-7)&"-"&MID(A1,LEN(A1)-7,3)&"-"&RIGHT(A1,4)

Double click the fill handle to fill down,

Hi,

Try this
=TEXT(A2,"000\-000\-0000")
change the cell reference as it suits you.

GGGGreat....... Cut and paste and away I went!!!!!!
P.S. I do this for my GPS...My own benifit.
 
That would be OK if the cell contained only the phone number, but it doesn't
work with the sort of text string which the OP gave as examples.
 
Hi,
You could also try something like this:

=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-10)&TEXT(RIGHT(A1,10),"000\-000\-0000")
