How do I add an apostrophe in front of existing column in Excel?
Test this solution on *backup* data to avoid catastrophic loss!
Here's one solution: assume your zip code column is F. Add a new column right next to column F and format it as text. Enter this formula into the new column: =IF(LEN(F1)=4,"0"&F1,F1) This adds a leading zero to any entry that is only 4 characters long. Copy the new column and paste it over the old column as values, then delete the new column. |
