Hello,

What is the best way to convert following format into e.164 in excel i.e. i would like to convert numbers in the format 123 456-0001 to \+11234560001.
Column A Column B

123 456-0001 \+11234560001
123 456-0005 \+11234560005
123 456-1000 \+11234561000

If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
The B1 formula here should do the trick:
Book2
AB
1123 456-0001\+11234560001
Sheet1
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
B1B1=INT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","")," ",""))

You can either prepend the "\+1" or number format adding "\+1" (what I did here).
Whether this is the "best" way probably depends on factors that are not outlined here - e.g. I have presumed that the 123 456-0001 is text and not a representation presented by a formula, etc.
