    formula to check numerical data between two columns not working when starts with a zero

    I have a sheet to check first 6 digit column A against column D which has 8 digits.

    the issue are the digits starting with 012345 with 01234567 give me no match or should read match but those starting with 1 to 9 first digit as first digit works .

    Tried formating still the same

    the formula used

    Can anyone assist what is going wrong.

    
=IFERROR(IF(--LEFT(A2,6)=D2,"CONFIRM","DOES NOT MATCH"),"DOES NOT MATCH")
