I have a column with variable length numbers. I need to put these in a new
column with leading zeros in front to make the length of the new cell to 10.
Example for cell with 23, I need a new column to hold 0000000023.

1) =TEXT(A1,"0000000000")
2) =LEFT("0000000000",10-LEN(A1))&A1
3) why not give A1 a custom format of "0000000000" ?
best wishes

For column A into column B:

Sub LeadingZero()
Dim s As String
n = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To n
v = Cells(i, "A").Value
s = Application.WorksheetFunction.Rept("0", 10 - Len(v))
Cells(i, "B").NumberFormat = "@"
Cells(i, "B").Value = s & v
Next
End Sub

Assuming that your 23 is in A1, use the formula:-

=Text(A1,"0000000000")

With number in cell A1 use this in another cell to create the string you
require....

=CONCATENATE(REPT(0,10-LEN(TRIM(A1))),A1)

The column has about 3000 rows so I need a way to do this for every row in
the column considering variable length of the contents of the cells.

Thank you. This works like a charm. Just takes a bit of time due to the
lenght of the column

Then copy the formula down the column by double clicking the fill handle

You could simply format the column as "0000000000" if it is for display only
(as long as the column contains only numbers)
