delete leading 0
I have a download in Excel, but the numbers have leading zeros (e.g. 00796,
01234). How do I delete these? |

They've apparently been imported as text strings rather than numbers. To
convert, type a 0 in some empty cell and copy it (ctrl+C). Then select your imported data and, from the menu bar, Edit Paste Special, select Values and Add, then click OK. "Hal B" wrote: I have a download in Excel, but the numbers have leading zeros (e.g. 00796, 01234). How do I delete these? |

you have 3 alternatives:
1) in b1 you put in the formula :=a1+0 then copy down 2) in b1 you put in the formula :=trim(a1) then copy down 3) in b1 you put in the formula :=value(a1) then copy down wdjsxj €œHal B€ç¼–写： I have a download in Excel, but the numbers have leading zeros (e.g. 00796, 01234).
