The 0 is dropped in zip codes beginning w/zero (Excell)
Whenever I enter a zip code or birthdate (01/02 1943) begining with a zero in
Excell, the zero is dropped when I print a list. How can I ge the zero to display at the beginning in these instances. David (a dunce, I guess) |

Either:
Format as text before you put the number in, or Precede the number by an apostrophe, or For date: Put the date in as 01/02/1943 and format as dd/mm/yyyy (or mm/dd/yyyy as appropriate), or For zip code: Format cell as zip code, or Format as 00000 if you are loking for 5 digits. -- David Biddulph "papadave" wrote in message ...

Thank you David. I fomatted the zip code column as text as that is the only
one that would work. Now, why couldn't I have thought of that? papadave "David Biddulph" wrote: Either: Format as text before you put the number in, or Precede the number by an apostrophe, or For date: Put the date in as 01/02/1943 and format as dd/mm/yyyy (or mm/dd/yyyy as appropriate), or For zip code: Format cell as zip code, or Format as 00000 if you are loking for 5 digits. -- David Biddulph "papadave" wrote in message ...

I just put in a ' when I want to do an individual item as text. So '01/01/07
will make that text also. Handy if it is only done here and there. "papadave" wrote: Thank you David. I fomatted the zip code column as text as that is the only one that would work.

Dave,
Nope. It is an Excel command, so you never see it in that context. Good luck!
