Default Problems with entering cell number

When entering a cell number into one of the cells in xcell it throws the zero
away. What do I do to fix this?

Default Problems with entering cell number

Hi

Excel does not retain leading zeros with numbers.
You will need to enter it as text.
Either, preformat the cells as Text, or, insert a single quote in front of
the number as you enter it
'012345

You can enter your number and then format it to display with leading zeroes.
Example: enter 123 and custom format the display as 00000. Your number will
display as 00123.
