You could give the range of cells a custom format:
Select the range format|cells|Number tab|custom category type: 00000 You could preformat the cell as Text and type 00036 You could start your entry with an apostrophe: '00036 The last two will treat your entry as text--not a number.

You can right click on the cell, format cell, and select that cell
type as "text". On May 17, 8:42 am, Matt wrote: How do I display the number 00036 as such instead of excel automatically formatting it as 36? |

But that won't help if you've already entered the number. Formatting as
text is fine if you do it before you enter the number. -- David Biddulph wrote in message ups.com... You can right click on the cell, format cell, and select that cell type as "text".
