I want to show numbers beginning with 0 (zero) in a cell
e.g. 0123456.
Whenever I enter anything, I lose the zero.
Help please for a beginner!

You can Format the cell as text, (Right click the cell, 'Format Cells' >
'Number' > check 'Text') before you enter the value, or prefix the number
with `
like '015472. The ` will show in the formula bar, but not in the cell. Note
that if you do this the number will be text, not a true number and certain
functions may not behave as expected'

Alan.
