Preformat the cell as Text and type your entry.
Start your entry with an apostrophe: '001234 Give the cell/range a custom number format: 000000 (format|cells|number tab|custom category -- xl2003 menu system) lmattox wrote: I can't remember how to format a cell within and Excel spreadsheet to enter numbers that begin with a "0".
