    Number stored as text

    Hi Guys - I am currently using the formula below but when I c and p special > values it pastes as text. Therefore, when i convert to a numbner i am back to square one!!!

    =if(left(s2)="0",s2,0&s2)

    I would like the 0 to stay and the field be stored as a number!

    If i ignore error and format cells as number is this the same?

    Any ideas ?

    Thanks
