Hi Ivan

Either:

Format the cell as Text (although then the numbers entered are text
rather than genuine numerics) or format the cells to show leading
zeroes (eg a custom format like 000) - note that this is simply for
display purposes as the actual contents of the cell will be 0.

Hope this helps1

Richard
