Default need help formatting text in macro

I have a spreadsheet that i scan barcodes into. Some of the barcodes are old
and omit the - in the serial number. I need to format the text to add it
back in. below is an example of the data. Also when the - is omitted it
reads the cell as text instead of general and omits the leading 0.

02-123456
2123456

You see no - and no leading 0. I need to add both back in. Can anyone give
me some help? I have tried a few things but i have another issue that breaks
all of them. Thanks.

dm.
