I am trying to convert the phone numbers from the current format "### ### ####" to the full format "1-(###)-###-####" in two steps:

  • In column B, I need to just add parentheses around the area code.
  • In column C, I am finalizing the new phone numbers.
This is being done in google sheets

this is what I have currently came up with, which is clearly not what I'm trying to achieve. Below are the formulas I'm using
B2 - ="("&LEFT(A2,3)
C2- =")"& RIGHT(A2,9)

439 735 9116(439) 735 9116
414 623 7001
970 449 5701
759 326 4030
