cell data keep leading 0s

Hello,

Sorry to ask a simple question. I try to search the answer but no luck. Thanks in advance. How to keep format number as string to keep the leading 0s. When insert data in the cell, it will truncate the leading 0s and leave only rest of number in the cell.

Thanks

David Chiang

Hi,

You could set cell's Style.Format to something like "00000.000" to show a fixed number of leading and trailing zeros. It might be possible to count entered zeros in InplaceEditEnding event handler to set format automatically if you'd like to preserve them exactly. Users could also start a numeric value with ' as in Excel to treat it as text, which will preserve exactly entered string, but then won't be able to use it in formulas.

Regards,
