How to format a list column to have the numbers in the format "0000"
Everything is in the question.
I would like to format a number title column of one of my list to have four digits.
For example "45" will be "0045".
Could you help me?
EiC4733 you can format the column with the following JSON to achieve this:
{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "div", "txtContent": "=if(@currentField <= 9, '000'+'@currentField', (if(@currentField >= 10 && @currentField <= 99,'00'+'@currentField', (if(@currentField >= 1000 ,'@currentField','0'+'@currentField'))" }Rob

EiC4733 You can also use the padStart function to simplify.
{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "div", "txtContent": "=padStart(toString(@currentField),4,'0')" }Good Luck!

Intranet, SharePoint and Power Platform Manager (and classic 1967 Morris Traveller driver)the formatting code works perfectly but after several months of use I realize that this does not solve my problem. Users can always enter more than 4 numbers or even letters whereas the cell should only allow 4 number type characters
