Default How to find/replace data in column

Hi,

In Excel I have a column of 0's as text and I want to change the whole
column to 1 but still as text.

How can I do this?

I tried a find/replace, but the 1 was entered as a number not as text.

Thanks
Rock

Thank you Gord...

The column I wish to change is actually K.

Does this mean the A1 in the formula should in fact be K1 ?

In an adjacent column.

=IF(A1="0",TEXT(A1,"1"))

Drag/copy down.
