Any ideas on how to do this?
these are the values I have on these cells:
A1=7100 B1=5 C1=2 D1=0 E1=0 F1=0

In cell G1 above needs to look in this format
7100-05-10-00-000- 0000

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
Code:
=TEXT(A1,"0000") & "-" & TEXT(B1,"00") & "-" & TEXT(C1,"00") & "-" & TEXT(D1,"00") & "-" & TEXT(E1,"0000") & "-" & TEXT(F1,"0000")
Though, I think you may have a typo with C1 (if C1=2, how does that translate to "00"?)

You can try this

=CONCATENATE(A1, L1, "0",B1, L1, "0",C1, L1, "00",D1,L1, "0",E1,"0", F1)

L1 is where I placed the Dash -
