Try Data/Validation Custom =AND(A10,A1<4444)
And format cells Custom 0000

Use Data validation with a type of Whole Number, between 1 and 4444. Format
the cell as 0000.

You have almost answered your own question "validation"
see entries in topics index for data validation
you want to include a check on the length if text,
or on the range if a number

and it would probably also be shown in one of the videos at
