Dear John and all Apart from the many solutions suggesting formatting as text or adding the ' sign, you could custom format the cell, thus retaining the number format and having the leading zeroes at the same time. For example if your numbers are of a fixed length of 6 digits so that "15" is to be displayed as "000015", you could custom format the cell/cells using the format cell dialogue box and typing 000000 using custom format.
