Not sure about a format, but the formula
=0&SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","")
will do it, copy and Paste Special Values to lose the formula,

Alan.

Your formula =0&SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","") added an extra space, 0 1343612
However, =TEXT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",""),"00000000") does work, 01343612.

Glad you have a solution but that formula doesn't add an extra space for me
if I enter 1.34.36.12 into A1 manually. Are you importing the data from
somewhere?, if so it may have a leading zero. An alternative formula would
be
=0&TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",""))
Regards,
Alan.
