Excel only supports 15 significant digits. Anything beyond that
is no mans land.

Does MS Excel have a maximum number decimal places. I know
that I can format
up to 30 decimal places. (This is not a formatting question.)
Is 30 the
default or are the decimal places infinite?
I am uploading a file to a database and want to set the field
length on the
database to the maximum possible decimal places as long as its
not infinite.
Thank You.
