Rahul,

If you want any number to be padded with leading zeros then you use this function.

If you are getting the number as 123 and your output has a length of 10 digits then in format number you have to specify 10 zeros 0000000000 so that the output will be like 0000000123.

Rahul

we use the function when you want to format number according to particular way.

for example if you want commas after 3 numbers

you just use input -> number format->output

Ex: 1234 ->000,0->123,4
