I have a dataset and one of the columns is ZIP codes. The leading zeros are being removed when uploaded to DOMO. Any way to change the column's formatting or to prevent the zeros from being truncated?

    If you are using Domo Workbench you can set the column type to string on the schema tab. If it is coming from somewhere else, you can add the zero back in Magic ETL by using a formula tile and the LPAD function like this:

    LPAD(zipfield,5,'0')
