How to specify cell length with text and leading spaces?
I want a cell to have only 35 text characters; however, I want the text I enter to be counted with leading blank spaces. Similar to the leading 0 function that can be configured in the Format Cell, Number, Custom to mandate 4 number spaces where the number 12 is entered into the cell however with 4 number spaces (e.g. 0000) what will show up in the cell is 0012. In the Format Cell, Number, Custom the " "@ does not include the text after the @ in the total count rather this function ADDS text entered into the cell after the @ so if count between the quotes" " is 35 the text entered into the cell (e.g. gate) the total characters in the cell is 39. |
