    formatting a cell to ### ## ###

    Hi ...

    In Excel, Norwegian mobile phone numbers are formatted with this pattern: ### ## ###.
    When I try to implement this into a cell in Excel it automatically reverts to US formatting (I think)
    See enclosed images.
    Yes, I know ... there is an special option where one can select the phone numbers format, but the formatting is ## ## ## ##. I don't want that!
    What can I do to format a cell with numbers to ### ## ###?
