I put in 08601 and I get 8601. I need the complete zip.

    add an apostrophe before the number:

    Β 

    '08060

    Β 

    Or my hometown, '08108

    Β 

    :D

    Just like in Excel.Β  Nice.Β  I also noticed that you have cleverly programmed the same short cut keys to work the same.Β  For Example 'control+d' for duplicate cell(s) down.


    NIce work on that folks.

    I'm not sure it will help too much with US Zip Codes, but I had a similar problem with UK telephone numbers.

    Β 

    Instead of inserting an apostrophe (as suggested above), which is a pain and screws up any auto dialling) I found that a space or hyphen after the area code makes SS keep the starting zero.

    Β 

    Does the Zip Code have to be a contuinuous string (08601), or would 08 601 or 08-601 still parse?

    Β 

    All the best,Β
