    Format cells - Custom

    Hi,

    I have a list of id's stored as general. The id's are usually like this 1810042740 and I have used the Format cell and Custom to make them look like this '1810042740', To do this I have put '0000000000', in Custom.
    Some of the id's are different - they are stored as general but look like this 181004AAA0 and then my custom '0000000000', doesn't work. How can I use Custom and make them look like this '181004AAA9',

    Best regards, drū_lilja

    Try 0000000000 without the ' worked OK for me, if I'm replicating what you have correctly

    Thank you very much for your reply
    It's nearly there. I only need the , in the end of the id. With your formula it looks like this '181004AAA9' but I need to have comma in the end '181004AAA9', can you help me with that?

    didn't realize comma was part of your format. perhaps:
    '0000000000',;;;'@',
