RE: Excel,
Hi Dianne
Thank you for your question. I understand how this could be a frustrating and time consuming process if you were to do it manually.
Can you please tell me if all the phone numbers have the same number of digits within them?
thanks
Amanda

RE: Excel,
No, as they are telephone numbers the amounts of digits will be different.
Thanks

RE: Excel,
Hi Dianne
Using a simple find and replace should hopefully resolve this.
1. Go to Edit - Replace (or Ctrl + H)
2. Click the the Find what box, press the spacebar once (meaning find a gap of one space) - you don't need to type anything into the Replace with box.
3. Click Replace All. Excel will search for all instances of one space and replace it with no space, eliminating any spaces.
I hope this helps.
Amanda

Excel tip:Quickly hide and unhide rows and columnsUse the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+9 to hide selected rows and Ctrl+0 to hide selected columns. The good thing about this shortcut is that you do not need to select entire rows or columns. For example, select B3:D3 then press Ctrl+0 to hide columns B to D. |
