Use a helper column and enter ="000"&A1 Where A1 is the original data and copy down Copy this new data and the edit paste special+Values over the old data, you may need to pre-format the original column as text to get it to stick -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England DTHIS web: www.nickhodge.co.uk blog (non-tech): www.nickhodge.co.uk/blog/ "Talon" wrote in message ...

Do remember that formatting is only a 'mask'. The underlying data will still be 5086870 so you will need to be sure that's what you use on any LOOKUPs or similar -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England DTHIS web: www.nickhodge.co.uk blog (non-tech): www.nickhodge.co.uk/blog/ "Talon" wrote in message ...
