This appears to work but the zero does not actually exsist ie not in FX Box
when copy and paste it does show zero,


Thanks

Then it won't be a number that Excel recognizes as a number, it would be
text. You can use a help column for that

=TEXT(A1,"00000000000")


copy as needed, then copy and paste special as values

Your data must be Text numbers not actual numbers.


Data Text to Columns Next Next Finish

Custom Format cells as 00000000000

The formatting just changes the appearance, not the value.

If you want the value changed you could use a helper cell with a formula.

="0" & A1

Drag/copy down then CopyPaste SpecialValuesOKEsc.

The values are now text with a preceding 0
