putting leading zeros in front of number

[Guest]

I would like to display a number with leading zeros in front of it.

Format the cell with a custom format such as

00000000

(this would put enough leading zeroes in front of the number to make it up
to 8 digits).

hi,
you could create a custom format for it but numbers with leading zeros are
usually not real numbers, that is a number you would want to do something
mathmatical to.
ever had a reason to devide your zip code by 2?
for that reason i usually recomend that you just format it as text and treat
it as such.
