You apply that as a style to the specific cells. Something like this should work:
<td style="mso-number-format:'\@'">00001</td> -----Original Message----- From: Deetra Whatley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 10:43 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: How do I export numerical data into Excel and keep the leading zeroes from disappearing When I export a file into Excel, the leading zeroes disappear. How do you force Excel to treat the codes as text, and leave the zeroes? I need something that would act the way the Excel text import wizard does. I've tried enclosing the variable with single or double quotes, which sorta work, except that the quotes show up in Excel along with the zeroes. I have used a couple of custom tags, but they are not preserving the leading zeroes so the text is importing into Excel with no leading zeroes. For example (From CF: 0000 Import into Excel: 0) FYI: I read an answer using the mso-number-format:\@ style, but I am not sure how/where to apply this style in my coldfusion code so that the Excel spreadsheet reads 0000 instead of 0. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298074 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
