You can use a custom format of 000000, but by width, do you mean that if the
cell is widened it gets extra leading digits?

I am trying to format existing data so that instead of being a set amount

of
digits, say 2 for example, it fills out the column based on its width, say

6,
with leading zeros. Example - I have 55122 in a cell that has a width of

6,
and I want it to say 055122. I know that changing the cell format to text

and
re-entering the data would fix this problem, but I want a way to change

the
data without re-entering it.
