Format as 0000 or as many zeroes as you need.

hi,
if you need to see leading zeros, then you should format as text and not numbers. excel will automaticly drop leading zeros for numbers because they are not neccessary. after formating as text, you will have to add in the leading zeros or if you have a lot use the =concatenate formula to add the leading zeros. Note. you can put in a custom number format to make excel seem to add leading zeros but that is just formating. if you download the data to another application, the leading zeros will not be there. if the file is opened on another machine with excel, the leading will not be there. formatin only change the way data looks, not the data itself. -----Original Message----- Hi I need leading zeros to be displayed - can anybody help please.
