Zeros in cells
I'm importing some data in which a number of the cells contain numbers that
begin with mulitple zeroes, but excel is autmoatically deleting those zeroes. Formatting the cells to zip code format helps with some of the numbers but not all. For example 00043994267 becomes 43994267 and I need the zero in the beginning Any ideas mhogan |
