I want to put a phone number in to a cell 01273 but the 0 keeps disapearing

i want to put a phone number in to a cell 01273 but the 0 keeps disapearing what am i doing wrong.

Hi Murray,
Numbers has a default format called Automatic and if it sees your input as a numeric value it will try to format it the way it thinks numbers should look. There are several ways to overcome this using various formatting options. The most simple and direct is to pre-format your data area as Text. The most elaborate is to create a Custom Format to automatically insert your choice of punctuation and to treat every zero as significant.
