$$Excel-Macros$$ Re: Leading zeros
Dear John and all Apart from the many solutions suggesting formatting as text or adding the ' sign, you could custom format the cell, thus retaining the number format and having the leading zeroes at the same time. For example if your numbers are of a fixed length of 6 digits so that "15" is to be displayed as "15", you could custom format the cell/cells using the format cell dialogue box and typing 00 using custom format.

*Hi John,* One way could be formatting the cell as Text Format. Please find the attached sheet with the same format.

$$Excel-Macros$$ Re: Leading zeros
Hi John, You need to change the format of the columns where you want numbers with leading zeros to 'Text format'. Another option if there is for example only one number you want with a leading zero is to preceed the number with an " ' ", for example if you want to enter the number 07545 then in the cell you would type: '07545. This is also another alternative to change the number to text. Hope this helps.
