First spreadsheet: I have a spreadsheet with thousands of phone numbers on it. The phone numbers are formatted with dashes: 555-555-1212 I need to remove the dashes so the phone numbers look like this: 5555551212

Second spreadsheet: I have a second spreadsheet with phone numbers formatted with a "1" in front of all the phone numbers: 15555551212 i want to remove the 1's to make the phone numbers look like this: 5555551212

How?

Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
For the first, find and replace hyphens with nothing.

For the second,
