Hi,
I feel dumb having to ask this, but it's driving me up the wall...simply 'cos I am not getting this silly thing right...HELP!!
Look at the attached picture...
How do I display the value with a leading 0. Even converting to text does not help???

Re: Add leading 0
Can't do Hans...
The idea is to paste the formula as values and then use Text To Columns to convert it into a valid date. I have done this dozens of times, but NEVER had the problem with the leading zero before???

Re: Add leading 0
The length of a string is a number, not a string, so your formula should have been
=IF(LEN(B2)=7,"0"&B2,B2)
Another option would have been
=RIGHT("0"&B2,8)
=IF(LEN(B2)=7,"0"&B2,B2)
Another option would have been
=RIGHT("0"&B2,8)
Best wishes,
Hans
