Default Set the number of characters in a column

=REPT(" ",6-LEN(A1))&A1&REPT(" ",6-LEN(B1))&B1
Regards,
Stefi


bicheno ezt *rta:

Is it possible to format an Excel column for "fixed number of characters"
(including spaces) or something similar so that any entry in the column
automatically adopts that number of characters - eg 124 becomes space space
space 124 etc etc,
& so that when you concatenate 2 adjacent columns, the spaces prior to the
numbers in each cell get included in the concatenated cell rather than
omitted ?
