Can't seem to split data into digits right-aligned

[Noobachu]

Would someone please help? I have a column of data values between 4 and 7 digits in length. I need to split them into separate columns so that they line up on the right, with blanks placed for non-existant significant figures; that is, the numbers
1111678 and
1234
will have 8 and 4 in a column, 3 and 7 in a column, 6 and 2 in a column, 1 and 1 in a column, and blanks for the ten-thousand, hundred-thousand, and millions places for the row containing 1234. It's important that I don't have leading zeros (I was able to do it with MID() and Text(), but it gave me leading zeros) so that I can count the number of zeros accurately in, say, the hundred-thousands place.
Thanks!

Hi Noobachu

Welcome to the Forum ...

Could you run this past us again? ....

Perhaps a sample workbook illustating your problem might be an advantage?

Cheers

numbers in col a then in b1 dragged across to h1 then down
=IF(COLUMNS(A$1:$G$1)>LEN($A1),"",MID(TEXT($A1,"0000000"),COLUMN(A$1),1))
note if you want real numbers not text
=IF(COLUMNS(A$1:$G$1)>LEN($A1),"",--MID(TEXT($A1,"0000000"),COLUMN(A$1),1))
