entering a 0 before a number
 

I changed my numbers in the column to text now i need to enter 0 before all
of the numbers i've tried macros and it erases the whole number and replaces
it with the 0 i need to add the zero is there a way to do this to all 847
lines vs individually?

entering a 0 before a number
 

make a "helper" column and use =concatenate("0",a1) assuming data starts in
a1, the copy/paste special/values

If your data always have three digit numbers then try this:

Custom Format cells as 0000
