I have a report that is imported from another source. A column has numbers
showing as 00047, formatted as "general". I need to use those numbers in a
vlookup formula - and the lookup table has the numbers without the leading
zeros. So right now, nothing is pulling. Is there a way to get rid of those
leading zeros - either by formatting or with a formula - so I can avoid
re-entering them all by hand (there are about 1500 of them). I use Excel 2000
