In the workbook I uploaded, I had already converted the "text" numbers in column A to real numbers using a Paste Special trick.
1) Put the number 1 in an empty cell
2) Copy the cell
3) Highlight column A
4) Select Edit > Paste Special > Multilply > OK
5) All the text numbers are now real numbers
6) Apply your custom number format of 000
