    Hi,

     

    The solution depends on the datatype of the number (999-999-9999) in the cell.

     

    If it's a text string, which means that the dashes are really part of it, then you can use the formula suggested by Damien_Rosario to remove them.

     

    But if these dashes are just a format to this number, you can go to the Format Cell (Ctrl+1) to change the format to General or Number.

     

     

    Hope that helps
