Webform datagrid column formatting

I have a field in my SQL database table which has phone numbers stored
with no "-" character. That is, 4540090 rather than 454-0090. I have a
webform datagrid and wish to display these values in a 454-0090
format(with the "-" character.) I have gone to the Property Builder on
the data grid, selected columns option, chose my phone number column
and attemtped to use the "Data Formatting Expression" to do this. I
cannot find an "expression" which will display the phone numbers
correctly.

Can it be done this way or must I use Javascript or something else?
Any ideas?

Thank you.
