Hi Kiran here Query regarding Excel –

1) I store my clients Mobile numbers as 99800 12890 like this I have stored around 500 to 550 numbers.When I want to send a group SMS by using SMS service providers software they insist me to store all the numbers as 9980012890.now I have given space after 99800 12890 do you have any function to remove the space at one go.

2) Now I would like to prefix 91 before mobile number as 919980012890 to all the 500 numbers at one go how to do.
 
Hi Kiran,


cell A2 -> 99800 12890

cell B2 -> 91&LEFT(A2,5)&RIGHT(A2,5)


Drag B2 upto you want. its just my view, if its doesn't work pls let us know

our guru's will help it out

Hi Kiran ,


You have already posted this question on this forum , and answers were given ; I do not know why this question should be repeated.


Anyway , I have two things to say :


1. To answer your question , since the existing numbers have spaces within them , they are all text. To remove the space , you can use formulae ; suppose your existing numbers are in column A , from , say , A5 through A500 ; in cell B5 , enter the following formula :


=SUBSTITUTE(A5," ","")


Copy this down , till , say , B500 ; the spaces will be removed.


Now , to add "91" as a prefix to all the modified numbers , you can have the following formula in C5 :


=91&B5


Copying this down till C500 will prefix all the modified numbers with 91.


You can combine both steps in one , and enter the following formula in B5 :


=91&SUBSTITUTE(A5," ","")


2. The other point I want to tell you is that there is no reason for you to enter the 10 digit numbers with a space in between ; you can format the cells where you enter these numbers to show a space in between , so that when you enter the number , you enter all the 10 digits together , without any space between ; when displayed , the numbers will be displayed with a space between the 5th and 6th digits.


Choose a Custom format , and enter 00000 00000 ; even though you enter 9980012890 , it will be displayed as :


99800 12890.
