Default Loosing Zeros


Hi

I have recently imputed on an excel sheet. Example 000123. When I press
return I loose the zeros. What can I do to stop this? I am told that if
I format the cell to text this won’t happen BUT… I will not be able to
apply any calculations to that cell.

I would like to still have the option to apply calculations. Is there a
solution?

Thanks

Try this, Axim. You'll want the format option.
