C CLR Apr 11, 2005 #2 One way is to type an apostrophe before the first zero......it won't show, but changes the value to TEXT and displays the leading zeros.......... Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3

G Gord Dibben Apr 11, 2005 #3 Methods...... 1. Enter an apostrophe before typing the number. 2. Pre-format the cells as Text before entry. 3. Use a Custom Format of 000 The first two will be text and not calculable. The third will not change the value of the numbers, formatting only. Gord Dibben Excel MVP
