Exporting select query data from mysql to csv & opening with excel, the leading zeros are gone.
Although the column is varchar, when the data gets exported, it writes like
4567 instead of 04567, is there a way to preserve the leading zero while exporting to csv?
You need to wrap the number in double quotes like:
...,"04567",..., but then it will be interpreted as text in the spreadsheet so integer arithmetic will not work on it unless you do a conversion first (integers cannot begin with 0 in excel).
