Most Popular Question

I have some census characteristics that I want to put into GIS. However, I am having trouble doing so because the FIPS codes in my data are represented as numbers; e.g., 1 for Alabama instead of 01. Likewise, Autauga county is represented as 1 instead of 001. I need an ID variable for Autauga county, Alabama that looks like 01001. How can I convert numeric data back to text in Excel? Right now, state is in one column and county is in the next column. [189 web views]
