How do I move this value in phone number format xxx-xxx-xxxx

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).Value = txtPhone.Value

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Welcome to the board!
You could do it like this:

Code:
    If txtPhone.Value < 9999999 Then
        ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).Value = Format(txtPhone.Value, "###-####")
    Else
        ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).Value = Format(txtPhone.Value, "(###) ###-####")
    End if

Note that this method will convert a number into a string.

If you wish to keep the value as a number and simply FORMAT it as a Phone Number you could use:
Code:
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).Value = txtPhone.Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).NumberFormat = "[<=9999999]###-####;(###) ###-####"

Note that the second option will change cell formatting in the active sheet.

Use whichever method is preferable to you.
