In there it should automatically pick the format of "00000000" but you can type it in if needed.
In formatting, 0 is a forced digit (inc. leading zeros) and # is an optional number, so wouldn't include leading zeros.
Eg:
01234 as 00000 = 01234
01234 as ##### = 1234 |
Yeeehaaaa, that works just fine. Many thanks guys, great info and very quick as usual. Almost tempted to chuck my slide rule and four figure tables away now
