Ashish:

Your solution is very good. It adds the leading zero to any size number and
still leaves it a number suitable for calculations,

Hi,

Try this as well. You will not need a helper column

Select the cells and do a Ctrl+1

Now go to custom in the Number tab and click on General on the RHS

Before general add the following (with the quotes) - "0"
