I need to reformat phone numbers in Excel, and I am having trouble doing so. I do not have VBA experience, but I am somewhat familiar with functions in Excel.
I need to go from 555-555-5555 to (555) 555-5555
This is driving me bonkers. Please advise.

Try:
="("&LEFT(A1,3)&") "&RIGHT(A1,8) copied down
Then you can copy and edit|Paste Special >> Values over the original if desired and delete the formula column afterwards.
edit: Simplified formula...

Please also mark the thread as Solved once it is solved. Check the FAQ's to see how.
Or:
=REPLACE(REPLACE(A1,1,0,"("),5,1,") ")
Works great. Thank you!!
