Display or hide zero values in Excel for Mac. If you want to keep leading zeros, you must create a custom number format. For more information about how to keep leading zeros, see Keep leading zeros. Learn about several options for displaying or hiding zero values in the sections below. If you import a file and find that Excel strips off leading zeros from what it. Work in Excel, as desired, and again save your data in CSV format. Mac os mojave vmware download.
Hi All,
I've been tasked at work with created a daily CSV upload file for a new system. Typically, the format the raw data comes in is .xls and very untidy (direct from SAP).
As such I have created a small macro which tidys up the spreadsheet, and saves it as a CSV. However, I have only just noticed that for the product codes we have which have a leading zero, the .xls file displays the leading zero without a problem, but in the resultant CSV file they are gone.
The macro I use, is as follows:
As you can see, it's very crude (I'm a complete nubie when it comes to this) - the Application.Run 'PERSONAL.xlsm!CSV' is a small macro which puts double quote marks around all content of any populated cells in column B and the Application.Run 'PERSONAL.xlsm!SaveAsCSV' is a small macro which saves the current sheet as a CSV file - code for those as below:
So what I am hoping, is that someone can help me out and explain why the leading zeros are not in my CSV file, and how to get them back?
The line which I use to get the leading zeros is:
Selection.NumberFormat = '[>9999]000000;General'
And this is because the only codes which have a leading zero are 6-digits long. Could I maybe add a single ' to the beginning of each cell in column A to make them text, and thus keep the leading zero?
To confirm, the column which contains the product codes is column A.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy
