Phone number format style not being applied properly. about phpexcel HOT 6 OPEN

Not forgotten, but I'm trying to work out a good generic way of implementing. I know you already have a temporary solution

I figured as much, but I wanted to make sure the issue was migrated over
to the git-hub repository.

I've worked out the basic mechanic for handling the masking in a way that will work as readily with mask="0000-00-00" and number 19601219 as with your phone number example.... the difficulty now is identifying masks of that type without affecting other standard masks such as #,##0.00

I know what you mean. When I initially researched it myself I also realized that the main hurdle is how to identify the mask as a phone number mask vs another type of number mask and keep the code generic. Thus my initial hack code example for the specific case I ran across.

Good luck! (8^D)

Mark, I think you can close this. Unless you have solution ready to drop in.
