Hi everyone, so I have here a code that omits special characters and converts phone letters into numbers.
Sub Xabier()
Dim myLen As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim myNum As String
Dim newNum
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")
Dim rng As Range
Dim cell As Range
Set rng = Selection
For Each cell In rng
' Loop through characters, converting values
If Len(cell.Value) > 0 Then
For i = 1 To Len(cell.Value)
Select Case Mid(cell.Value, i, 1)
Case "0"
myNum = "0"
Case "1"
myNum = "1"
Case "2"
myNum = "2"
Case "3"
myNum = "3"
Case "4"
myNum = "4"
Case "5"
myNum = "5"
Case "6"
myNum = "6"
Case "7"
myNum = "7"
Case "8"
myNum = "8"
Case "9"
myNum = "9"


Case "A", "B", "C", "a", "b", "c"
myNum = "2"
Case "D", "E", "F", "d", "e", "f"
myNum = "3"
Case "G", "H", "I", "g", "h", "i"
myNum = "4"
Case "J", "K", "L", "j", "k", "l"
myNum = "5"
Case "M", "N", "O", "m", "n", "o"
myNum = "6"
Case "P", "Q", "R", "S", "p", "q", "r", "s"
myNum = "7"
Case "T", "U", "V", "t", "u", "v"
myNum = "8"
Case "W", "X", "Y", "Z", "w", "x", "y", "z"
myNum = "9"
Case Else
myNum = ""
End Select
newNum = newNum & myNum
Next i
End If

cell.Value = Right(newNum, 12)



Next
End Sub



What I want to do now is to create a phone format that only accepts values that are exactly 10. The format goes like this "###"-"###"-"####" and if ever that the count exceeds, then count starts from right, because mostly the exceeding characters are the country code. Any help would do! Thanks!
