This problem is only from the Excel side.
If you simply create a sample excel file, with leading zeroes, they will disappears as useless in type number.
Then try to change the cells format to text , and add extra leadings zeroes it's ok. But once this sheet is saved as csv and reloaded , what happens ? Nomore leading zeroes again.
The trouble is the leading zeroes are a matter of format, not saved with CSV file type.
A simple workaround is to save the file as .txt . Excel will import it interactively, so you can select each column format.
But all this is completely outside the scope of this forum .
