I have the follow columns of numbers. I need to combine them in a specific format like ###-######-##. How would I go about doing this? In the case where there is only a single number like column c or 5 numbers like column D, a "0" would be the leading number.

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Do you mean a formula like this (for row 2):
=TEXT(A2,"000")&"-"&TEXT(B2,"000000")&"-"&TEXT(C2,"00")

That is exactly what I was looking for.
