How to convert a series of numbers

R

Robert Judge

I have received an EXCEL 2003 worksheet with a column that contains many zip
codes, improperly formatted. The cells contain, for instance:
10751746, but I want 01075
10271234, but I want 01027
10359999, but I want 01035

How can I convert the numbers above to give me the numbers I want as
indicated above? I will appreciate advice.

If not all are 9 digit zips you could use this:

=IF((LEN(A1)=8)+(LEN(A1)=4)>0,0&LEFT(A1,4),LEFT(A1,5))
