Hi:
I have numerous cells that have to be 18 characters in length. Each cell has characters that currently could be 8 in one cell and 12 in another. Is there a forumla that I can add 0's in front so that in total the cell is 18 characters long?

If the cell is a number, NBVC's answer will work. If it's a string, try
=REPT("0", 18-LEN(A1))&A1
