Sharepoint Numbering Column won't let me have 001 or 012, it won't let me start with 0
Is there a way to set a SharePoint number column to allow numbers that start with 0? We're setting up an index system and for some reason it always removes the 0 and there doesn't seem to be a way...

Modula a number column can't start with zeros, instead create a calculated column with the following formula:
=IF(Number<10,"00"&Number,IF(AND(Number>9,Number<100),"0"&Number,Number))

Hi Rob, thankyou for your post however doing it that way caused more problems because of power automate, the text row started behaving in the end and it seems I can keep using that.
