Adding a leading zero to a SSN
I am pulling SSN out of one of my systems and putting it in excel.
When it comes out of my AS/400 it does not have a leading zero if needed. I need a have a formula that will add a zero to the begging of a 8 character string if needed but if is in already 9 characters long I need to leave it alone. A1 has the SSN in text, which is how I need it. I need A2 to have the SSN with the leading zero if not 9 characters long. |

I bet you meant nine 0's.

Adding a leading zero to a SSN
Hi Dave,
No, I meant eight 0's, because cflarida wanted leading zeros up to 8 character length. In case of nine 0's string e.g. 1234567 would be displayed as 001234567 and it's 9 character length instead of 8 character long 01234567. Did I misunderstand something?

I think so--but I've been wrong before.

Adding a leading zero to a SSN
Now I see, I haven't notice that the request was simply to display a SSN
formatted string. Not speaking English as mother tongue abbreviation SSN didn't immediately bring to my mind its full meaning. Stefi Dave Peterson ezt *rta: I think so--but I've been wrong before.

I also got the following to work. =TEXT(MOD(INT(A2/1),1000000000),"000000000") If I have the -'s in how would I take them out? 000-00-0000 would like it to return with 000000000 |
