Hello my Excel friends.
Here we go another day.....without success!
- I formated columns A and E as 'special - phone number'
2. I did a full copy of the worksheet and re-pasted as values
3. When I replicate(d) your formula(s) I receive a #N/A error output
Here is the other formula with the same result. I did received a '!' alerting me to an error in my formula.
Regarding the TRIM option
I was able to do this for column A, where the space was before the phone number. When I did this it removed the () from number as well. When I tried to TRIM the phone numbers in column E it didn't remove the (). I have tried to format both the same in order to align in each column.
- I wish I could attach the file I am working with as you may be able to find errors I am not seeing in the formatting.
- I am doing something wrong and trying to find out what that is will cause me to throw my computer out of the window!
