i am running excel 2003 and have limited knowledge of all it's functions thus seeking expert advice having exhausted my attempts to trouble shoot on my own.
i have a database of leads i converted from notepad/text to excel, a feat in itself i'm proud to have completed.
my problem:
the data contains a string of phone numbers in it's own column in which i am seeking to convert from, e.g. (123) 456-7890 to read 1234567890.
i have tried numerous times from the toolbar: format; cells; special; phone number; and custom without any success removing the characters noted above; parentheses and hyphen contained in the phone number.
is there a simple solution?
thank you for your help, scott
