In Excel 2010 I cannot start a number with 0. Excel automatically takes the first 0 out of the cell. How do I turn this off?
The reason it does that is because a zero at the beginning of a value has no effect so is not required. The value 000015 is just 15, so the zeroes are dropped. The only time you start with a zero and want it is for things that are not for calculation, such as phone numbers or codes. So the way to do it is to get Excel not to treat what you are typing in as a number, but as text. You do this by typing the single quote before the number like this: '000015 Then it will treat it as text and leave the zeroes there but won't show the single quote. You can also first format the cell(s) you want to be text and then enter the values.
