00:00I've been asked a few times about how to add a leading zeros on your Excel

00:03spreadsheet number here. Basically there's two ways to do it. First way is

00:06to put a foster free, let's say I want a six digit number, so I'm gonna put three

00:11zeros here and basically call like that. This is gonna throw you an error. You're

00:15gonna click on this cell, go here warning and ignore error here. I'm just gonna

00:19align it to the right here to make it look like a number. The second technique

00:23is to select the cell that you want, press ctrl 1 and this will open up the

00:27cell formatting here. Go to number, custom and basically gonna type six zeros here

00:311, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 like this and after that click OK. Now anytime if you enter a

00:35number here, let's say 2, 4, 6, you see that there's leading zeros in here. Now

00:40the question comes is this, can you add these two numbers together? I'm gonna

00:44ignore the error on this one here and basically try to add this plus this. You

00:51can see it does really work actually on this leading zero number here and what

00:55about this one here and this one works as well.
