I have a question regarding Excel's interpretation of entered info and how
it converts it.

Example 1: I type in the following in a cell: 074410E4
Excel displays it as 7.44E+08

Example 2: I type in the following in a cell: 08121126
Excel displays it as 8121016

I tried setting different formatting for the cells and copying around and
still cannot get the cell to display exactly how I entered it. Same undesired
behavior when copying/pasting with a macro.

My goal is to have the data exactly the way I entered it.


Thank you.
