add zeros in front of numbers
Custom format
00000 If you need to export is as text with leading zeros use a help column and a formula =TEXT(A1,"00000") copy down, select the range and copy and paste special as values in place Regards, Peo Sjoblom "dlb1228" > wrote in message ... >i have an acct# field and want to add 000 in front > > 585 > 00125 > 00356 > 12 > > i want to add 00 to 585 and 000 to 12 to make all the same length is > there some place to set this

Custom format as 00000.
This only changes the "appearance" of the number. "dlb1228" wrote: > i have an acct# field and want to add 000 in front > > 585 > 00125 > 00356 > 12 > > i want to add 00 to 585 and 000 to 12 to make all the same length is > there some place to set this
