Starting with a zero?
You can also format as 0000 under Edit-Format Cells-Special for four digit
numbers with leading zeroes for shorter numbers. Increase the number of
zeroes for bigger numbers...

hi
leading zeros on true number are unnecessary so excel trims them off.
numbers with leading zero are usually some sort of id code or a number that
you may not wish to preform mathmatical operations on. such as deviding your
phone number by 2. these "numbers" are more like text.
so pre-format the cell as text or begin input with an apostrophe.

Is there a way to enter a number beginning with a zero onto an Excel
document? I'm listing some passwords that begin with zero and Excel wants to
leave them off. For example, when I enter 0123 it shows up as 123. Thanks.
