I have an address (city, state, zip format) in a cell. Some of the zip codes only have a 4-digit zip code which is the way the file was received. I know these zip codes have leading zero. How can I convert these to a five-digit code. Examples are as follows:
Waltham MA 2453
convert to 'Waltham MA 02453'
Boston MA 2210
convert to 'Boston MA 02210'
CEDAR GROVE, NJ 7009-1174
convert to 'CEDAR GROVE, NJ 07009-1174'
TEANECK CITY, NJ 7666
convert to 'TEANECK CITY, NJ 07666'
Perhaps the simplest way is to use a helper cell.

Never use Merged Cells in Excel
Are these zip codes in their own cell? Do you just want the 5th digit for appearance sake?
If yes to both, simply format the cell to Custom 00000
