Let ( [Numbs = Filter ( PhoneIn ; "0123456789"); CharLen = Length(Numbs); fixedAC = Filter(areacode; "0123456789"); defAreaCode = Case(Length(fixedAC) = 3; "(" & fixedAC &") ")]; Case(CharLen = 7; defAreaCode & Left(Numbs; 3) & "-" & Right(Numbs; 4);CharLen = 10; "(" & Left(Numbs;3 ) & ") " & Middle ( Numbs ; 4 ; 3 ) & "-" & Right(Numbs; 4); PhoneIn)) Click to copy

Masks North American phone numbers, and adds an area code if none given. Does not reformat any numbers that don't match the North American pattern (7 or 10 digits). Used with an area code lookup table it is quite useful: FormatPhone ( PhoneNumber; Lookup ( AreaCodes::AreaCode;"")).
