Zero Padding
Pads values to a fixed length. Sortable marks and numbers: 7 → 007.
Steps
- Categories — which elements: tick the categories, and add a filter if only some of them should take part.
- Parameter (any parameter) — whose value to pad; read and written back.
- Target length — total length after padding.
Example
| Value before | Target length 3, Pad Whole value | Pad Number only |
|---|---|---|
