Not sure how to take for example 2167752324 and format as (216)775-2324.

Hey @tagresti,

Are you familiar with EasyMorph expressions / functions? You can achieve this by using the "Modify Column(s)" action and building an expression that uses the following functions:

- LEFT: [Left(text, no\_of\_chars) [EasyMorph Help]](https://help.easymorph.com/doku.php?id=syntax:functions:left)
- MID: [Mid(text, start, length) [EasyMorph Help]](https://help.easymorph.com/doku.php?id=syntax:functions:mid)
- RIGHT: [Right(text, no\_of\_chars) [EasyMorph Help]](https://help.easymorph.com/doku.php?id=syntax:functions:right)

And then concatenating everything (using **&** ) and also adding the parenthesis/dash in the concatenation.

Let me know if you need more detail.
