Default Need a left pad formula method

(you may have to format both columns as text)

Just to add then:

You don't need to format either column as text. the results will be text
irrespective of formatting.

Hi,
Assuming the originals are in Column A and you want the padded version
in column B this should work (you may have to format both columns as
text)

=REPT("0",10-LEN(A1))&A1

HTH,
OJ
