Hi!

I have a column of numbers that have varied length some have 2 digits, some
have 3 and some 4 and some 6. I need to add a sting 0's to bring the length
of the string of all all the numbers to 6.

I am an excel newbie so any help would be great!

hi,

Select your cells then

Format:Cells|Custom

add a custom format of 000000
