Leading zeroes in ZIP field
 
How do I stop losing the leading zero in a ZIP code field in a .csv file?

Hi Kate,

You could format the cells with the zip code format (Format|Cells|Special).

Cheers

If you see the leading 0's in excel before you save the data in a .csv file,
then the 0's are still there.

But don't open the .csv file in excel to check it. (That's the part that's
losing the leading 0's.)

Just open that .csv file in Notepad or some other text editor.
