Default Question on Text to Column Function


Hi,

I have some problem with the data after perform Text to Column
Function.

Eg: I have this no = 123456789
I want to add "-" in between become 1-234-567-89
So i Use Text To Column Function to separate 9 digit no to 4
column.
Then use this formula to combine:
[ =Column1&"-"&Column2&"-"&Column3&"-"&Column4 ]

Problem: when the no contain "0" in some location, like 102500301,
the no in column2 become 25, column3 become 3 and
column4 become 1.
after combine will become 1-25-3-1 (Actual needed is
1-025-003-01)

Can some one help to solve this problem (what code can be aded in VBA
to solve this)?

Regards
YL Chuah
