How do I make Excel leave the zero's at the beginning of the number?

Format the cell as TEXT or enter a leading apostrophe ( ' ) befor
keying in the numbers

You must either have the cell(s) formatted as text, which will hold the
actual characters in the cell. Otherwise, you can custom format the cell to
'000' which will display the leading zeros, but not hold them in the cell.

Hope this helps.

Change the format of the cell

=> Custom
typ in 000
and it works and it is still a number!!
