Zero(0) values box checked-but not displayed as a 1st digit ?
I am working on a spreadsheet in Excel, however I can not get the zero(0) to
display in the cell as a first digit of a number. Example: 0319 is displayed as 319. I checked the zero values box under Tools, Options, View and that did not work. |

Select the range where you want the leading zeros and then select menu item
Format-Cells then Select Number Tab. Click on Number then Custom in the list. In the box under Type: Edit it to 000 (That's three zeros) zero values box under Tools, Options, View only tells Excel whether or not to display cells containing zero value; not zeros in a number. -- Regards, OssieMac "BoyBaby" wrote: I am working on a spreadsheet in Excel, however I can not get the zero(0) to display in the cell as a first digit of a number.

I guess you intended 0000 (four zeroes) ?

Yes it should have been 4 zeros. Thanks David.
