    Smile Number format switch

    Hi guys!

    I have several phone numbers that I copy and paste from the web:
    I.E:

    (888) 456-7890
    (333) 234-5678

    I need to switch all of them to just standard numbers: They should look like this:

    8884567890
    3332345678

    I go to "format" - "cells" - "numbers" but nothing works. I wonder if any formula can do it. It should work for ALL THE LIST, I want something else than change them one by one by hand.

    Thank you!!!
    Lorena

    Use Find and Replace to delete parens, hyphens, spaces, and non-breaking spaces.
