show number in fixed length format

Hi,

 

I have a list of numbers, from 0 to 999. I need to have them all shown as text format with length at 3. So 0 will be 000, 1 will be 001, 90 will be 090 etc.

 

I used a formula tool for this purpose, which works. But I think there should be another simpler function, just like in excel we can have text([Field1], "000").

 

if length([Field1])=1 then "00"+[Field1]
elseif length([Field1])=2 then "0" + [Field1]
else [Field1]
endif

 

Thanks,
