Pad Numbers With Leading Zeros
i have a header row that i want to transfer to a new spreadsheet. here is my exact setup to make it more clear:
Sheet1 - 001 PM Usage$%
Sheet2 - 022 PM Usage$%
i have dozens of these rows, and i want to set up a auto rename for the header row on sheet 2 to rename itself like this:
Dim the value from header row on Sheet 1 (001), and rename the header on Sheet 2 (022), keeping the remaining contents intact (this is important because i want to use the same function for other headers which varies).
what i am doing now is dumping the value of the first cell into a variable, but as it stands it doesnt store 001, it stores 1... stripping the zeros, which makes it more complicated.
i thought perhaps i should dim the first 3 characters in the header as a string, and rename the first 3 characters in header 2, which i think would be the most efficient, but i dont even know if that is possible.

Retain Leading Zeros In Numbers
I have ID numbers that sometimes starts with one or more zeros and when i try to paste a string containing ID numbers that starts with a zero, excel converts it to a number thereby deleting the leading zero(s). Is there any way to force excel to keep the leading zero when i paste from the clipboard? Clipboard.SetText strMyString, vbCFText Set xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets("Sheet1") xlSheet.Activate xlApp. ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet. Range("A2").Select xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Paste I have tried setting the format for a column as text using xlSheet.Columns("D").NumberFormat = "text" before pasting to try to force excel to keep the leading zero but the ID# comes out unreadable as "############". I have also tried formatting as "General" and custom formatting the column before pasting but have been unsuccessful thus far. I've seen other programs accomplish pasting numbers with leading zeros but how do you do this?

Dropping Leading Zeros
When I save my file as a csv, it drops leading zeros in my zip codes. Formatting the column as text or even zip code only helps when I save it as xls - as soon as I switch it to csv it drops them.

Leading Zeros In Variable
what i want to do is input a range of numbers into a cell "L12" from 1 to 450 though when in excel i have formated the cell to "number" so when i want number 001 it turns to 1 what i what to do in the macro is after Dim sNum As Integer Sheets("FFR").Select sNum = Range("L12").Value if the number 1 is in the cell "L12" the number 1 will be in the variable sNum, though i want the number to be 001! would i have to count the number of numbers in the variable and then say for example if there is only "1" number in the box, use an "add 00" function to get the number in the variable to be 001! I have an idea what to do though no idea where to start!

Formula To Add Leading Zeros
I need a formula that will make a 4 digit number by adding leading zeros. If the number is already 4 digits then don't add leading zeros, do nothing. all numbers will be 1,2,3,4 digits long. For Example, if number is 1 then make it 0001 if number is 11 then make it 0011 if number is 111 then make it 0111 if number is 1111 then leave it 1111

Number Format To Keep Leading Zeros
I'm using Excel 2007 and am using a look up formula =isna(match( cell, cell range, 0)) to see whether a number in one column occurs in another column. I have been doing this process successfully for over a year on Excel 2003 and more recently on Excel 2007. This is until today, when it's stopped doing what I expect - could I have changed a setting? The correct number format for this sheet should be 0000 (so now '67' will appear as '0067' or '290' will appear as '0290' etc.) So I have applied this Custom Format to my columns: '0000' After applying the Custom Format to the spreadsheet the numbers appear correctly - 560 now appears as 0560 - BUT in the formula bar they still only appear as the original format - so 560 is STILL 560 rather than 0560 as it should be! As a result of this, my look up is not looking for the number in the new format, it's still looking for the number in its original format - so a look up for 0560 is actually returning results for anything with 560 in it: 560, 5600, 5601, 56000, 56007 etc. I need my look up to be looking for 0560 NOT 560. How do I force the numbers to become 4 digits in the formula bar so that my look up for 0560 only finds a match with a cell containing 0560 and not 560, 5600, 5601, 56000, 56007 etc.

Leading Zeros Lost In Csv Format
I have an excel spreadsheet with numbers and the format has to show zeroes at the beginning (e.g. 0011111) It is always going to be a seven digit number. I can format the cells to show the numbers with the leading zeros, but as soon as I save the file as a csv, the leading zeros are lost. Does anyone know how to the zeros can be retained when the file is saved in csv format?

Web Query Trims Leading Zeros
I have a web query that connects to our financial system, and downloads cost code values. However, as some of the values have leading zeros, these get dropped off by Excel. When I look at the data on the web page, a value could 0080, but when it is imported in to Excel using a web query, it show as 80. BTW, the values can be different lengths, so I can't just pad the front of the number. I have formatted the cells to text, and I have set the .PreserveFormatting value = True (see code below)....

Join Text With Number With Leading Zeros
I'm trying to convert a set of numbers between 1 and 9999 into text strings, with the number at the end as a four digit string, so 1 becomes "COLUMN0001", 123 becomes "COLUMN0123", etc. In excel, it would be easy - I would just use the text function and convert the number to a string and append it to the word COLUMN, but as far as I know, there isn't an equivalent function in excel and running excel functions in VBA is notoriously slow (especially as I will need to do this about 360,000 times).

Web Query Drops Leading Zeros
I have a web query that returns the following two columns of information: 0011111 0-0-1-1-1-1-1 0110111 0-1-1-0-1-1-1 1111100 1-1-1-1-1-0-0 However, the leading zeros in the first column get dropped off in the Excel worksheet, and the information looks like this: 11111 0-0-1-1-1-1-1 110111 0-1-1-0-1-1-1 1111100 1-1-1-1-1-0-0 This means that my lookups later on don't work correctly. I have tried formatting the cells to text, but this hasn't helped. I also can't add the missing zeros back on, as the length can change.

Formatting Query, Incremental Values With Leading Zeros
I'm tracking weeks by weeknumber in the format YY-WW. At the moment I am entering the weeks manually in a general cell, preceeded by a '. I would prefer to have the sheet work out the weeks for me as we move the sheet every week. I would like to format the initial cell as follows: 09-08 (or '09-08 if I must) then have the next cell in sequence read 09-09, 09-10, and so on. With the initial week in cell A3, I have tried to accomplish this with: =LEFT(A3,3)&RIGHT(A3,2)+1 However, this does not work for weeks 01 through 09 because excel kills the leading zero in the second part of the formula, regardless of how I format the cell (format 00-00 does not work.) How can I force Excel it to keep the leading zero in the week number?

Remove Leading Apostrophe From Numbers

I know the apostrophe is a hidden character, so I can't use Find & Replace, and using MID or RIGHT doesn't seem to work, either, even if I Copy and Paste Special as Values.

Adding Zeros To The Prefix Or Certain Numbers

VNO005016017008019020021 But when im pulling out the report into excel, the zeros in the prefix goes away and the report looks like the below VNO516178192021 I just checked the tools previllages and it seems that we cannot do anyting in pulling the data as it is in the tool. So wht im trying to do is to save the report in a folder where i have placed a validation sheet which will have references of the parent report. So when i open the report the reference will pull up the data and in here i would like to add a validation which will add "0" in the prefix if VNO is a 2 digit number or "00" if the VNO is a one digit number.

Adding Zeros To The End Of Numbers
I have a large spreadsheet of employee data saved in a shared network folder so that others can access it. Starting about a week ago, anytime I enter a number in any cell, Excel adds two zeros to the end of the number. For instance, a 1 becomes 100. When other users open the file on their computer and enter a number, everything is normal - no zeros are added. I'm guessing I inadvertantly enabled a function somewhere along the line, but have been unable to figure out how to undo the function.

Data Validation To Exclude Letters But Allow Numbers Beginning With Zeros
I am using Excel 07 with Vista, and creating a spreadsheet in which users will be inputting a record into every row. There is a row that requires a number to be entered, where some of the numbers will begin with 0 or 00 or even 0000. I want to make sure no-one incorrectly enters a letter, however with data validation set to whole numbers, it formats the cell to change an entry of "005667" into just "5667". There is no set length for the field. The only way to have "005667" is the change the column to text, but then obviously that defeats the whole purpose!

My issue is that the data is sent to me from a third party and the columns contain zeros that cause the counts to inflate. What I would like to be able to do is run a macro that will search out any zeros in M:DU and replace them with a blank cell. Unfortunately the number of rows increases with every monthly reporting cycle so the macro would need to be able to accommodate for that.

Imaginary Zeros In Formulas Vs. Real Zeros
I’ve created a formula for this statistic and I’m happy with the results. Because I’m working with formulas, my only problem is the unwanted zeros. How do I hide zeros that show up automatically (i.e. #3 [blank] and Nov 09-June 10)? I can hide the numbers, but if I enter a zero to one of my future statistics it will not appear and I don’t want that to happen. Is there a way to hide those automatic zeros without affecting my real zeros?

Leading Zero(s) / Custom Format? ()
I'm having trouble with the leading zeros of my ISBN#s; excel keeps chopping them off. I found a topic that discussed this issue, but it won't work for me. http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewtopic.php?t=75303 I can't format them as text because I'm getting them as an isbn with dashes (ie:978-05689-256-7) and when I remove the dashes (even if its formatted as text) excel changes the number to 9780568.9E+12 (or something like that) I think the solution would be to create a custom format (ie. 0000000000) to preserve the zeros, but I'm having 2 problems: 1. Since the ISBN#'s have 2 different formats (ISBN-10 & ISBN-13) I need to somehow check if the first 3 numbers are 978 then based on that it should be formatted either as ISBN-10 (0000000000) or ISBN-13 (0000000000000) 2. In the post that I linked to above it said that I won't be able to do a vlookup if its custom formatted. Is there any way around this?
