Need a total of 6 characters in each row by adding zeros

mcas1
7 - Meteor

I have:

 

10A2O1

10A

10A2

 

What i need:

 

10A201

10A000

10A200

 

Essentially, i need to make sure that there are always 6 characters total in the column, and anywhere that it doesn't add up to six, add a 0 to make it six.

 

Thank you!

Hey @mcas1 

 

This is as simple as just using the padright([FieldName],6,"0") function in a formula tool!
