Problem with concatenation taking away zeros

[AndyRG]

When I can Concatenate numbers like 0001234 and 0005678 the result I get is 12345678 instead of 00012340005678, how do I get around this problem. I need the zeros to be included in the result.

Are they always 7 digits (with the zeroes)? Try using TEXT function, e.g. with numbers in A2 and B2

=TEXT(A2,"0000000")&TEXT(B2,"0000000")

Here is an example of what i am talking about. The number sequences are all different lengths. Is these a way to do this?

You could use ddl's suggestion and use the same rules you set in your formatting:

Sorry I am I understand the logic, bur where do I insert this formatting. I have to do this every month, is there a way to write a Macro??

You can drag the formula down.

See the example.
