Zeros in Excel 2007 - How to
I often have lists of file path names in Excel 2007 and I want to eliminate all the text except for the file name. The file names I deal with are eight digit barcode numbers, often with leading zeros. Unfortunately when I eliminate the text, Excel gets rid of the leading zeros.
To get rid of text, under the data tab, select Data To Columns.
Shown here, delimit to a fixed width of 8 characters.
This eliminates the leading zeros.
Select the column of numbers, and under the Home tab/General click the small arrow next to Numbers.
This opens the Format Cells dialog. Under Category, select Custom. Under Type: type in zeros for as many digits as you want you string of numbers to be, in this case, eight digits so eight zeros.Press OK.
The leading zeros are shown.
