Default Leading zeros

I am importing data into Excel from an online database. The values I am
importing are 9 digit numbers and many contain a zero as the leftmost digit.
Whenerver I copy the data into excel it drops any leading zeros even though
I've formatted that column as text. How can I get Excel to retain the
original number format?
