Padding Entries in Excel

Another post inspired by the book 101 Ready-to-Use Excel Formulas by Michael Alexander and Dick Kusleika. This one is Formula #22 and covers padding entries with zeroes.

I thought I could make this formula more flexible and easier to use with a custom function.

The formula from the book is shown below.

The flexible LAMBDA custom function to perform the same calculation is shown below.
