I have created a "specil" format for the display of numbers that shows
leading zeros of a value. I then want to use the CONCATENATE function to join
multiple cells with this characteristic. Unfortunately the CONCATENATE
function ignores the leading zero rule I have imposed on the display of the
source cell and returns the result with out the leading zeros
if A1= "012345" (as a number with my formatting showing the leading 0) and
B1="abc"
C1 is the formula "=CONCATENATE(A1,B1)" the result yields
C1="12345abc"
For my purposes I would find it valuable that the formatting was preserved
by CONCATENATE.
