Excel Mac click to call Skype

I am trying to get my phone numbers in excel to call using Skype, but it keeps trying to use Facetime as the dialer. I managed to add a hyperlink and concat formula to give me a clickable link < =HYPERLINK(CONCAT("Tel:",G371)) > and at first, it would open Microsoft Lync as the dialer and I couldn't find a way to point it towards Skype so I deleted Lync in the hope that it would locate and dial using Skype. Now, however, it opens Facetime, which cant be deleted or uninstalled.

Facetime is of no use to me, and I need the hyperlink to dial using Skype-to-phone (i.e. overseas landline numbers)

Anyone got any ideas? :eeek::confused:

Cheers :)

macOS Mojave V10.14
Excel for Mac V 16.18
Skype 8.34.0.78
