This post is a quick adaptation to phone number based on the method presented in the add a space to postal code (splitByLength and Merge function).
In this example we will use US and Canadian phone number format which is the following 123 456 7890

- First invoke the transform windows (in Edit cells > Transform...)
- Then key the following expression:
splitByLengths(value, 3,3,4)[0], + ' '+ splitByLengths(value, 3,3,4)[1]+' '+splitByLengths(value, 3,3,4)[2]
In this case we split the string into three legs of three, three and four characters and display them the one after the other with a space between each one of them. Using the merge function you can change the space to a - or ( ) characters easily.
