do i get all of 00098 to appear. we use excel 2000. cheers |
You can Format the cell as text, (Right click the cell, 'Format Cells'
'Number' check 'Text') before you enter the value, or prefix the number with ' like '015472. The ' will show in the formula bar, but not in the cell. Note that if you do this the number will be text, not a true number and certain functions may not behave as expected. Regards, Alan.

If you only wish to have the cell appear that way
Format/Cells/Number and select Custom from the Category Window and enter "00000" (without the ""'s) HTH PC "Alan" wrote in message ...
