Hi,
I assume by the leading zeros that the cell is formatted as text.
Try this code, which assumes that your data is in cell E2
Sub InsertComma()
A = 8
B = Len(Range("E2"))
Do Until A > B
B = Len(Range("E2"))
C = Left(Range("E2"), A)
D = Right(Range("E2"), (B - A))
Range("E2") = C & "," & D
A = A + 9
Loop
End Sub
To apply this to lots of data, you will need to include it in a loop to go thru
all cells in your range.
Regards - Dave.
