    Add text to multiple cells

    Hello,

    I'm having troubles with number formating concerning Postal Codes,

    In Europe, a postal code is composed of 5 digits, sometimes the first one is a zero,
    If I want this zero to appear the format must be set as "text"

    However, some of the postal code of my excel sheet have lost their zero,

    How do I turn a list of 4 digit numbers into a 5 digits string starting with a zero:

    peg: 8456 --> 08456

    Thanks!
