Most of us will not or cannot download Excel files (or any files).

Then many of us can't help you. (But, yes you can, by putting in a little effort, turn your data into the format requested, and then we can help you)

So put in a little effort and change it to a SAS data set and give it to us following the instructions. Then we can show you how to use SAS to extract the phone number.
