why would you want to do this anyways, doesn't make a lot of sense, maybe if you give us an explanation of the problem we can come up with better solution.

Can I  get the display to show "B1000    " in excel?

Not for points:<br />
<br />
In case cell A1 has trailing spaces in it, already, I would recommend a slight modification to ZShaver's tip:<br />
<br />
[B1]=TRIM(A1)&amp;REPT(&quot; &quot;,10-LEN(TRIM(A1)))<br />
<br />
and copy down. &nbsp;You can then copy B column and paste value to A column<br />
<br />

If you have mutiple columns,<br />
You may adjust the column width, for example 10.<br />
Save as &quot;*.prn&quot; file.<br />
The column will be displayed as 10 characters include spacing.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
