Thank you.

    Hi @syazwaan
    A possible solution is work with a nominal data and logic if rule.

    Hi!

    If the data are numeric, you can use Format Numbers with a pattern of 00000. This will convert the numbers to a nominal column with the specified format that includes the leading zero if necessary. This would also work for smaller numbers.
