If it is for display purposes, you can format (numbers, not text) using a
custom format of "000000" If you need the values to 6 characters you can use for numeric values: =text(number, "000000") For text values: =rept("0",6-len(text value))&text value "Sweetetc" wrote: I have a list on Text data ie 1, 14, 203, etc I want them all to be 6 charcters long. ie 000001, 000014, 000203, etc. I can concatenate but the I would manually need to remove extra 0's Any suggestions -- Thanks ETC |
