Dear Sir, I have a series of Numbers where there might be less than 15 digits i.e. custom format is used as "00000000000000" (14 instead of 15 or 16 instead of 15). So, I need to identify these numbers which are wrongly custom formatted. For better understanding, please check the attached file. Regards, Ravi Kumar
