White space

Hi.

I have a problem. I have a formula: if [period]= '3' then ' 3' endif

 

When I export to excel the leading white space doesn't exist. How to solve this problem?

Here's a wild guess. 

try:   "' 3"

It appears to me that your ' 3'  contains one space.

Hi @anetal179 

 

Instead of a space, would a invisible character work?

 

Attached the workflow using it.

Thanks. I need oly one white space, because the rest of the data is in this format and I have to be consistent

I don't know if any of the replies were intended to me, but would the Invisible Character work for you in this case? Or do we NEED it to be a space character?

@pedrodrfaria I need a space character.
