Format is lost when number changed to text
Thank you, that worked great!

(In Format Cells, Custom was selected and '0000' entered in as the type, i.e. 430 should appear as 0430.) I have an additional column which changes each of the references into text, using the formula below. =IF(ISNUMBER(A13),FIXED(A13,0,TRUE),"") However, when changed to text, the format is lost, i.e. '0430' will appear as '430'. I need any additional zero's to be prefixed where necessary. Is there any way to do this when the value is set as text? |
