Default OT OT Excel ??????

Mike.
Numbers are for purposes of calculation. If you need a leading zero showing
then I suggest your numbers are rather 'text' than numbers. In which case
format the column as "text" you can then have leading zeros and still sort
properly.

...
I wish to put numbers in a cell which commence with a '0'. For example 067
but when I go to the next cell, the number reverts to just 67.

I can get over it by putting an 'O' (capital o), but this then does not
Data Sort properly.

Can anyone help please?

Mike
