Often when you are writing code or testing an application, it might be helpful to have random phone numbers generated for you.
Here is an excel formula that I use: =value(left(substitute(rand(),"0.",""),10))
try these 2 instead (thanks to John)
=RAND()*(9999999999-1000000000)+1000000000
=RANDBETWEEN(1000000000,9999999999) [needs analysis toolpack add-in or excel 2007]
Even though it works most of the time as excel rand() formula generates long decimal values between 0 and 1, it often returns fewer than 10 digits. You can add zeros at the left side to compensate that though.
Here is a shared Google docs spreadsheet with 200 random phone numbers generated for you. I am not sure how often Google refreshes the formulas on shared workbooks, so please be patient if you see same numbers generated twice.

Maybe I missed it, but this method doesn't include data from James that isn't contained in Sara's data.
I added a new sheet, and named the ranges for Sara and James.
Maybe something like:
B2: =SORT(UNIQUE(VSTACK(SaraCust, JamesCust)))
C2: =XLOOKUP(B2#,SaraCust,SaraPaid,"Missing")
D2: =XLOOKUP(B2#,JamesCust, JamesPaid,"Missing")
E2: =IF(ISERROR(C2#+D2#),"Missing",IF(C2#=D2#,"Yes","No"))
Then we can still do similar conditional formatting. But this will pull in data missing from Sara's sheet as well.
