Leading zeroes in zip codes

Hey blocke

You can create a calculated column to insert the leading 0's back in. So let's say that you have three zip codes (76342, 08976, and 00323). One has no leading 0's, one has 1, and one has 2. Based on what I'm gathering, when you import them in you are seeing 76342, 8976, 323. You can then create a calculated column to append necessary 0's on front depending on the size of the number like this:

RealZipCode = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    LEN('Table'[ZipCode]) = 5, 'Table'[ZipCode],
    LEN('Table'[ZipCode]) = 4, "0" & 'Table'[ZipCode],
    LEN('Table'[ZipCode]) = 3, "00" & 'Table'[ZipCode]
)

You end up with output that looks like:

Hope this helps,
