Default Inputting variable length data - outputting fixed character result

I'm opening a CSV file in excel and I need to reformat the data to input into
another software. The problem is that the output includes 1 column that must
be 26 characters in lenght (leading zeroes). The imported column will vary
from 3 to eight characters.

Is there a way to insert a variable amount of leading zeroes dependent upon
the length of the source?
