I'm trying to add spaces between digits in columns of 14 digit numbers.

Current format: 12345678901234

Desired format: 12 3 4567 8901 23 4

Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks,

sdan

This will work assuming that the number is in cell A1


=CONCATENATE(LEFT(A1,2)," ",MID(A1,3,1)," ",MID(A1,4,4)," ",MID(A1,8,4)," ",MID(A1,12,2)," ",RIGHT(A1,1))

Hope this helps.
