I just noticed the typo the Glenn pointed out. Where did you want the
missing zero placed... at the beginning (if so, then my formula works fine)
or at the end? I would note that Jacob's solution does not work for the
number you posted, so I am guessing that you actually have a 12-digit number
and that the 11-digit number you posted was a typo (I think this because you
said Jacob's formula worked for you). My formula will always work for
12-digit numbers and it will work for a number composed of a smaller number
of digits as long as you want the missing digits to be zero filled at the
beginning.

Or even this way...

=TEXT(A1,"00\.0000\.0000\.00")

If you mean as text then try the formula//

=LEFT(A2,2)&"."&MID(A2,3,4)&"."&MID(A2,7,4)&"."&MI D(A2,11,10)
