automatically prefix cell entry with leading zeros
Hi,
I am trying to setup a prefix where I have a set number starting out but need to add additional numbers.. I have the format down to do that but is there a way to keep the leading zeros displayed since some of the numbers I have start with zeros... Example 123 is the set number and i want to add 00456... correct result 123456 |
