Number Format

Hai, I am Ramesh,

When I was developing a frontend in vb for an Excel file.
I found that, number such as 0001 is automatically truncated to 1.

Can any one help me to solve my problem (excel auto truncation of number).

Thanks,

Ramesh Krishnan R

The only way to stop that is for force execl to see it as a string and not a number (put a ' in form of the value), Problem with that is that you can't use it in any calculations.

You could also try and format the number with leading zeros


format (Number, "0000")
