This appears to work but the zero does not actually exsist ie not in FX Box
when copy and paste it does show zero,


Thanks

Then it won't be a number that Excel recognizes as a number, it would be
text. You can use a help column for that

=TEXT(A1,"00000000000")


copy as needed, then copy and paste special as values

Your data must be Text numbers not actual numbers.


Data >> Text to Columns >> Next >> Next >> Finish

Custom Format cells as 00000000000

The formatting just changes the appearance, not the value.

If you want the value changed you could use a helper cell with a formula.

="0" & A1

Drag/copy down then Copy>Paste Special>Values>OK>Esc.

The values are now text with a preceding 0
