This one works for me.

Custom 999999000

Enter 007 and return 999999007

I will have a column of nine digit numbers. The first six digits are 999999;
the last three digits will vary. How do I format the column so I just have
to type in the last three digits and the first six will fill with 9s
automatically?
I tried custom 999999###. That works where the last three digits are 101,
for example. However it doesn't work where the last three digits are 007. I
get 9999997. It doesn't pick up 00.
Thanks,
