specify data size in cell add 0's
I want to specify that if data I am importing is 5556946581 it will return as
0000005556946580. It will add 0's to the beginning to make the length 16 characters long and also change the last number to 0 if it is a number from 1-9 |

specify data size in cell add 0's
Something like this:
=TEXT(MID(A2,1,LEN(A2)-1)&0,"0000000000000000") Note that if you need this to be a number, you can use: =VALUE(MID(A2,1,LEN(A2)-1)&0) and just format cells - number tab, custom format of 0000000000000000 -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "donna13pa" wrote: I want to specify that if data I am importing is 5556946581 it will return as 0000005556946580.

Hi,
I'd import your data and leave it as is and convert to the format you want with a formula. Say you imported to column A, put this in b1 and drag down =REPT("0",16-LEN(A1))&LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)&"0" Mike "donna13pa" wrote: I want to specify that if data I am importing is 5556946581 it will return as 0000005556946580.
