Yes, but that is just look of the data. From the OP, I read that as wanting
the actual string in B.

Looks like:

Hi,

All the cells in Column B in a worksheet must be 6 chars long. If I have
a
string 123 in cell A1 using VBA how would I populate cell B2 with this
value
including leading Zero to fill the gap to 6 characters. Column A could
contain a number with anything between 1 and 6 characters.

So for example the result should be

A B
1 123 000123
2 52 000052
3 52174 052174

Thanks

Paul
