    Phone Number Validation -> REGEXMATCH for digits?

    Hi,
    I'm looking to make an excel formula based on the following logic. Preferably not scripting etc. I am trying to validate numbers for a phone dialer.


    In column (a) I have phone numbers (no special characters)
    in column (b) I have the correct country code for that number's country

    IF (a) starts with 0, drop the 0. Lets call that (a-0)
    IF (a-0) starts with (b), print (a-0)
    ELSE print (b)&(a-0)

    Welcome to the forum.

    10 is NOT an Excel version - please update your forum profile.

    Please provide a sample workbook - instructions in the yellow banner at the top.

    Maybe this:

    =B2&IF(LEFT(A2,1)="0",RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-1),IF(VALUE(LEFT(A2,LEN(B2)))=B2,RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-LEN(B2)),A2))

    You may need to change commas to semi-colons for your locale.

    Try

    =IF(LEFT(A2,1)<>"0",IF(LEFT(A2,LEN(B2))=B2,A2,B2&A2),B2&MID(A2,2,LEN(A2)-1))
