Default I need to convert a number to text but I need it to be 5 position

Use a help column and a formula

=TEXT(A1,"00000")

where A1 holds 100, after you are done copying the formula, then select all
formula results and copy them, then paste special as values in place

example of the number is 100, I need the text value to be 00100.
