formatting question
Hello everybody,
I have a table with codes (6digits). Some of them start with a zero. I formatted the cell with a custom format: 000000, which works fine. Instead of 41719, I can see 041719 In a certain cell I concatenate the entries of two cells, the above mentioned code and another code. =concatenate(code1," / ",code2) 637002 9588 becomes 637002 / 9588 but 041719 9580 becomes 41719 / 9580 I lost the zero in front and I have no idea how I can get it back. I tried various possibilities with cell formats. The idea of formatting the code1 table as text and write '041719, I don't like, because in case of sorting the table, these entries will be at the end instead at the top. Thanks, Norbert |

One way:
=TEXT(code1,"000000\/") & TEXT(code2,"0000") In article , Orion wrote: Hello everybody, I have a table with codes (6digits). Some of them start with a zero.

It's been asked a few times Norbert, so we had the answer tucked up our
collective sleeve :-) Bob "Orion" wrote in message ... Wow, that seemed to be a very easy task for the specialists!! Thanks to Sharad, JE McGimpsey and Bob Phillips for that superquick response.
