Replace leading zeros with leading spaces ?
I need Format because this is part of a loop building a dynamic Message Box
that has several columns; I need the columns to be aligned for readability. Gary "Ryan H" wrote: I don't think you need to use Format. So you want "12" to look like " 12"? MyString = " 12" But I know if can't be that simple. Is "12" a value in a cell? If so, use this: MyString = " " & Range("A1").Value -- Cheers, Ryan "Gary" wrote: I am using Excel 2007.

You can also use
Val(your string here) For example, Val(0000012) = 12 -- Cheers, Ryan "Gary" wrote: I need Format because this is part of a loop building a dynamic Message Box that has several columns; I need the columns to be aligned for readability.
