Hi
I have a cell with a moblle phone number
0xxxxxxxxxx (11 numbers) & the 0 doesn't show?
Why is that & how do I fix please?

You could format the cell to show 11 digits:

Format|Cells|Number tab|custom category
00000000000

Or you could precede your entry with an apostrophe:
'12341234123

Or you could format the cell as Text, then do the data entry.

Precede the number with an apostrophe (single quote) when typing the number.

Thank you all for your replies
Precede the number with an apostrophe did the trick
