Social Security Numbers without dashes

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
If your cells are formatted as General and you see the dashes, then the SSNs are text strings.
In this case, formatting would not work -- try using the following formula:

=TEXT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",""),"000000000")

Thanks this works when I reference the cell. How can I incorporate the existing formula =IFERROR(INDEX(DTS_SSN,(MATCH(TASS_DTS_ID,DTS_ID,0))),"") with
=TEXT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",""),"000000000")
