title: How to get phpexcel to keep leading 0s in phone numbers?
body: <p>Here's the code i'm using right now to set the cell values. It works alright if the number has separators like . or / but when there's no separator it gets saved as int and the leading 0 is stripped    </p>
  
  <pre><code>$sheet-&gt;setCellValue($letter[$j].$row_nr,$entity['Phone'], PHPExcel_Cell_DataType::TYPE_STRING);
  </code></pre>
