How to add a leading zero?

How do I add a leading zero based on the number of digits in my text string? Please see the bottom Frog ID in my example picture.

In my example:

  • Every Frog ID must have 9 digits.
  • Any Frog ID with fewer than 9 digits needs a 0 added to the beginning of the Frog ID.
  • All of Frog ID must be set as text.

Hi! Forgive my ignorance - does this go in the data load editor?
