Default Format Cell as custom type but data doesn't display like I cus

And if you require that format, you'll have to enter the spaces yourself

| Hi Niek Otten,
|
| Can you please tell me how to enter them as text with the format I want? I

| |I format the cell as custom type like 0000 0000 0000 0000 in order that
| the
| | number the user key in the cell 1111222233334444 (without space) will
| display
| | like 1111 2222 3333 4444 automatically.
| |
| | But the problem is when I key in 1111222233334444 the last number
| always
| | becomes ZERO at all time like 1111 2222 3333 4440.
| |
| | How can I fix that? Could you please help me?
| |
| | Many thanks.
