Hi
I have a single column of data of ascending numbers which was in an .req file format (text) which I opened in Excel. The lowest number is 3128 and the largest number is 999999 with all numbers in between. These numbers were all 7 digits with leading zeros such as 0003128 right through to 0999999 and again, everything in between. Unfortunately, I saved the changes I made in the spreadsheet and all the leading zeros were lost. I can not for the life of me find anyway of getting 3 leading zeros to all the numbers with 4 digits, 2 leading zero for the numbers with 5 digits and 1 leading zero for the numbers with 6 digits. I desperately need this sorted as these numbers are unique identifiers for a download that occurs daily. 0003128 - 0009999 0010000 - 0099999 0100000 - 0999999 Is there anybody who can help me to convert these numbers back to their original format. Thanks in advance Malcolm |
