    Split text to columns loosing "0" in numbers

    Dear forum!
    I have tried several ways to split text to columns where the cells include text and telephone numbers. The problem is that all numbers starts with "0" zero and I loose this when splitting.
    How do I split without loosing the zero values in the telephone numbers?

    Sample file how the data can look like with the wanted result

    Thanks

    Change the format to Text on the desired columns in the Text to Columns dialog (Step 3 of 3). It defaults to General, which will lose your leading Zero.

    Alternately if it is the same number of digits (4 digits = 1234, 0123, 0003, 9999) you could change the format for that column to "0000"
