Social Security Numbers without dashes

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
If your cells are formatted as General and you see the dashes, then the SSNs are text strings.
In this case, formatting would not work -- try using the following formula:

=TEXT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",""),"000000000")

Thanks this works when I reference the cell. How can I incorporate the existing formula =IFERROR(INDEX(DTS_SSN,(MATCH(TASS_DTS_ID,DTS_ID,0))),"") with
=TEXT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",""),"000000000")
