Entering phone numbers into a cell

Is there a quick way to simply enter a phone number in the format of +44 20 ..., without having to manually enter and apostrpophe (') before each number, or when a copied number is moderated?

RE: Entering phone numbers into a cell

Hi Sarah

Thank you for your question. You could apply a text number format to the whole column used to store the numbers. To do this right click on the column letter and choose Format cells. On the number tab choose the Text category and click OK. Now try adding a phone number in that column and you should find Excel no longer re-formats the values.

Do let us know if you have any further quesitons.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Excel tip:

Do a fast scroll

In big Excel databases with many records, you can move down thousands of rows super-fast as follows: hold down Shift then click on the scrollbar somewhere below the scrollbar handle. This will move you way down the sheet without your having to use the scrollbar up/down arrows or drag on the scrollbar handle.
