This may not be an option but you could try transforming all your codes
in numbers.

here's how, type the number 1 in an empty cell, copy that cell next
select all your codes then Edit/Paste Special and select "Multiply" hit
Ok.

If that doesn't work then I suggest re-posting with sample data that is
not working, I'm sure some of the MVP's out there could help you.
