variable number of leading zeros number as text loop problem

[jon78981]

Hello,

I have code which creates a designated numbers of folders eg 3 folders and saves a spreadsheet into the designated filepath. of each folder. The folders name and spreadsheet name is based on cell values in the spreadsheet


However i have come across a problem. The loop coding works fine when the cells are set up to act as numbers. The coding and loop works correctly when just have number as the cell format.
eg 500 501 502
The macro creates the folder correctly named in the folder and spreadsheet is saved into the there correctly named.

However i have case where have to deal with variable number of leading zeros (`0`s) some. folders and spreadsheets should be named for example as 000006 000045 000456 003456 012345
The length is always fixed at 6 digits
when i change the cell format to text the loop naming method doest work the leading zeros are missing off so 000006 becomes 6.

How to solve this??

I think it would be beneficial for us to see your code and a sample of your data.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.
