Format as text and it will stay or lead with a single apostrophe. (It will not show) or if the numbers are all four digits long format it via FormatCells...Custom and enter 0000 (the number below will still actually be the number without the leading zero, but the display will be fine. -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England DTHIS web: www.excelusergroup.org web: www.nickhodge.co.uk "MikeR-Oz" wrote in message ...
