If this is just for display purpose then custom format the cells to 000000
The below will return the value as text and not numeric... =TEXT(A1,"000000") -- Jacob (MVP - Excel) "eStreet4ever" wrote: I need to have a six digit value for an ID field. Old db has values ranging from one to four characters and need to front fill with zeros |
