Default OT OT Excel ??????

Hi Mike

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?


At a guess (don't have time this morning to 'play' !) -
but right-click the cell and select 'format cells' (on my very elderly
copy of Excel).

There should be an option there that will do what you want - maybe
'text' - you need to convince Excel that it deosn't need to remove the
leading zero...

Hope this helps
