I was trying to enter the below no in excel.
0000081563
But when i enter it in the excel cel. it becomes 81563.
how can i enter zero's infront of the number.


One way: enter '0000081563. Note the leading apostrophe.

But that makes the cell content Text.

If you want the cell content to be Number, use the custom format
"000000000#" without quotes.
