I have phone numbers entered in the (222) 333-4444 format and need to change them to the 222-333-4444 format. Is there a Find/Replace or other formula that can accomplish this? If so, please provide an example. Thx!

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
I'm sure you can do ") " to "-" find /replace, then "(" to ""

test it one at a time, for the first few then use replace all

speech marks are for emphasis and not required

This will work for data in Column A:
Code:
Sub Test1()
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = Range("A:A")
Rng.Replace What:="(", Replacement:=""
Rng.Replace What:=") ", Replacement:="-"
End Sub

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

You have suggestions for a manual method and a vba method. To round it out, here is a formula method. Formula is copied down.
