Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
It looks as though you've entered the 090 and 099 as text in order to get the leading zeros (or is it zeroes?).

Use a custom number format: Format, Cells, Custom. Enter 000 as your number format. Now, when you enter 9 in the cell it will display as 009, 26 will display as 026, and so on... and Excel will treat it as a number instead of text.

Should solve your problem! (y)
