My column C represents a list of phone numbers that are all 5 digits long.
The list represents internal phone numbers of our company
For example - 43140 would be how you could call within the company where as 4 is the last number of the NXX and 3140 would represent the line.

What I want to do in column D is create a list of the full phone numbers for column C (NPA-NXX-LINE).
For example
If cell C2 is 43140, then D2 would be 314-694-3140

Column C also has numbers that start with 7 (72263 for example)
If cell C3 is 72263, then D3 would be 636-737-2263

The 5-digit TNs in column C always start with 4 or 7 and the needed result will always start with either 314-694 or 636-737
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
How about
=IF(LEFT(C4,1)="4","314-694-"&RIGHT(C4,4),"636-737-"&RIGHT(C4,4))
