Default Concatented Numbers Display as Scientific Notation

Nick;
Thanks.
As I noted in my response to Dave, this was the 1st time I'd seen this and was wondering
If I'd "slipped a cog" somewhere.

Also, I believe the max # is 1E14 (15 digit number) which doesn't concern me because my
Key will never exceed 14 digits, but thanks for the reminder.

Rob

Rob, are you doing Autofit and Number cell formatting, or just Autofit?
I tried this out and saw the issue with numbers greater than 11
digits. Like you said, changing the width didn't help. But changing
the format to Number (with 0 decimal places) did.

Playing around a bit, I also found that numbers 1E16 have truncated
precision, so you may want to watch out for that if you're
concatenating very large numbers
