Adding 0 to the front of a number
I have a data set that has a 5 digit id field with the first id being 00001.
How can I add the zeros i need to a similar data set that doesn't currently have the zeros in front to make the 5 digit character? Any help would be awesome! |

Hi,
Apply a custom format of 00000 That's 5 zeroes. Mike "Staten42" wrote: I have a data set that has a 5 digit id field with the first id being 00001.

Adding 0 to the front of a number
Format cellsCustom Type: 00000
If you need to combine this with any formulas to reflect the text with 5 digits you can use the below formula TEXT(A1,"00000") If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Staten42" wrote: I have a data set that has a 5 digit id field with the first id being 00001.

Would I need to do that if using the VLOOKUP function to compare the two data
sets?
