abhi.r 95 Report post Posted June 30, 2011 Select cell > Right CLick > Format Cells > Category (Number tab): Custom > Type "00000000000" (Eleven Zeroes) Now when you type 1 it will be displayed as 00000000001 If you type 123 it will be displayed as 00000000123 If you type xxxxxxxxxx it will be displayed as 0xxxxxxxxxx (x is a number) Hope that helps.

rbdhoot 11 Report post Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) insert a ' (apstrophe) before typing a zero. Edited June 30, 2011 by rbdhoot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drmadhu 87 Report post Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks, Mean while I am googling and find this below 1. Open the MS Excel Worksheet. 2. Write the number in the cell before you want to add zero. 3. Right click the mouse in the cell, select Format Cells… option. Format Cells window will be displayed. 4. Select the Numbers tab from the window then click Custom option from the leftCategory: section. 5. Select 0 option from the Type section. 6. Type the no. of zeroes as many as your number contains digit. For example, your number is 12345, so now you need to enter five zeros after the selected 0 in the type section i.e. 000000. 7. Click OK. The number of zeros entered by you will be converted to digits and the result would be 012345. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I_C_U 10 Report post Posted June 30, 2011 There are multiple ways though. If you want to quickly add a '0', use '(apostrophe) as mentioned earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abhi.r 95 Report post Posted June 30, 2011 '(apostrophe) It changes the cell format to TEXT. Numbers are read as TEXT, and u cannot add/multiply.. etc.. but I guess you dont need any mathematical calculations. So go ahead with '(apostrophe) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
