    extract phone numbers to new columns

    I have one column that contains several possible phone numbers that looks like

    Office phone: 416.555.0442
    Office phone: 306.555.5322, Office fax: 306.555.5347
    Office phone: 306.555.7506, Office fax: 306.555.7500, Cell phone: 306.555.3584, Home phone: 306.555.6990

    I need to separate this into 4 individual columns just leaving the phone numbers in the column

    One simply way would be to select the column and go to Data|Text to Columns, then select Delimited and click Next. Then select Space and Comma options and click Finish.

    Then Select and delete the Text columns to be left with the numbers only in 4 columns.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
