left(a1,10)&"-"&right(a1,5) should be close. just substitute your cell
for a1.

Use a helper column. If your data is in column A (beginning at A1), then in
another column (Z1 for example) enter the following formula and copy down as
needed.

If the number of characters should not always be 15, then this code might
work to add the hyphen after the 10th character if one exists.

Sub addHyphen()
'Select Range manually, then run macro to add hyphen after
'the 10th character if it exists.
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If Len(cell.Value) > 10 Then
cell.Value = Left(cell.Value, 10) & "-" & Mid(cell.Value, 11, 99)
Else: cell.Value = "'" & cell.Value
End If
Next cell
End Sub

It might have helped if I included the formula.

=LEFT(A1,20)&"-" & RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-10)
