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 |

automatically prefix cell entry with leading zeros
Use the text function, or set the column format to text.
with the function, change the 4 zeroes below to the number of digits there will be =TEXT(A1,"0000") -- -John Northwest11 Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful.
