How to Create Data Validation for Phone Numbers in Google Forms

I've always wanted to know more about the Data Validation setting in Google Forms, and yesterday, thanks to a participant question and a Google search, I learned how to make sure phone numbers in forms are entered in a consistent format, in this case, ###-###-####. 

Here's how . . .

Data Validation String for American Phone Numbers: ^[2-9]\d{2}-\d{3}-\d{4}$


If not being able to make sure your data is consistent in a Google Form has always bugged you too, well, now you know how to fix it!

Wrong . . .






Wrong . . .







Right!
