Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Did you enclose the 0000s in a double quote

like =TEXT(G2,"000-00-000-000")

Make sure that the cell is not formatted as text & that "Show Formulas" on the formula tab is not checked.

00901002010

009-01-002-011-A
