Hi,
Format, cells, custom format, type as many 0 as the total numbers including
the 0

i.e. 000123 you enter 000000

Hi,

You really need to tell us more about your data. Is it always a given
number of characters or is that variable. The formatting tricks that have
been recommended work for numbers of the same length. To handle variable
length number highlight your input range and choose Format, Cells, Number
tab, Text. Then enter the numbers.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,
