Chat Support RE: Custom Number Formats

Here's a short one from today:

[15:39] meeboguest######: hi, Im trying to import 11 digit UPC numbers into my software, but can't find the correct format to keep the digits at 11. All my UPC numbers that start with a 0 are cut off and made 10 digits every time I try to import
[15:39] meeboguest######: I tryed formatting the columns into text and it still shows 10 digits if it start with 0.
[16:15] excel_geek: go to Format --> Cells...
[16:15] excel_geek: from the Number tab select Custom
[16:16] excel_geek: then replace where it says "General" with 11 zeros.
[16:16] excel_geek: tada!



Gotta love customer number formats.
