Leading zero

[WJ876400]

Hi

I have a list of ID numbers and some of them are missing a leading zero, the ID number should be 8 digits long the IDs that need a leading zero are only 7 digits long. How do I add a leading zero to just the 7 digit IDs in the query editor?

thanks in advance

@WJ876400 , use only one second is alternate

example

Text.PadStart(Text.From([Colum]),8,"0")

[amitchandak]

@WJ876400 , In power query

Text.PadStart(Text.From([Colum]),8,"0")

Text.PadStart([Colum],8,"0")

DAX

format([Column], "00000000")
