How do I add "1" before phone numbers on excel
mathetes So if I wanted to change the number from (352) 123-4567 to 1(352)123-4567, then I type the following: "1"(352)123-4567? I tried that and it did not work
By the way, did you look at the sample file I attached in my first reply?

It did work. You should be able to go back to that file in OneDrive and open it to see what I did.
Now: IF that sample is in fact the same as your actual, those phone numbers are stored as text. So I used the simple concatenation formula to add the 1 in front. That formula is in the cell immediately to the right of your sample data. As such it could be copied and pasted to your actual.
- I am sorry , can you clarify?
