    Phone Number Clickable on a Smartphone

    Hello,

    How do I format cells so that phone numbers are clickable on a smartphone when you view the worksheet?

    Hi,

    Can you clarify your request?

    Are you looking at an Excel sheet via a web browser from your phone? What Excel software is the phone interacting with or are you looking at something in say GoogleDocs?

    Just a normal Excel spreadsheet 2007 or newer. I save the sheet to Dropbox.

    OK, and when you click on a number, what do you want to happen?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
