Enable Leading Zero - Nana - 06-06-2008

Hi, I paste a text-formatted number from xls (with leading zero) to the datatable, but the leading zero vanishes and the format is changed to number. How do I preserve the leading zero in the datatable when I paste? Thanks.

I figured I could get this by simply importing from xls, so my problem is solved. Would still be interesting to find out why formats dont get pasted.

Dear Nana,
You can format the data like this.
Select a column to format and right mouse click and select format (depending on your requirement).

Thanks Sridhar. But the trouble is I dont see a text format. All other types are there. And in the number format, there is no option to enable a leading zero.

Dear Nana,
Select custom number and then you can see more formats or you can add your own format.

Use " ' " infront.
Example: for 001 use '001
