Is there a way to create a 3-digit padding for numbers

Hi all, and thanks in advance!

I wanted to know if there was any way to create "padding" in Smartsheet. Basically I have account numbers, and a handful are still 2-digit, so they appear as TDL-17, TDL-67, etc. Most of the accounts are 3-digit numbers like TDL-180. I want something that will recognize whether it is 2 or 3 digits and make the change if it is a 2dig. So TDL-17 will become TDL-017 and TDL-67 will become TDL-067. However no changes will happy to the Account numbers that are already 3 digits.

This will also take into account any accounts that are only one digit, just in case. Adjust column names accordingly.

=IF(LEN([Original Account Number]@row ) = 5, LEFT([Original Account Number]@row , 4) + "00" + RIGHT([Original Account Number]@row , 1), IF(LEN([Original Account Number]@row ) = 6, LEFT([Original Account Number]@row , 4) + "0" + RIGHT([Original Account Number]@row , 2), [Original Account Number]@row ))
