Precede the number with an apostrophe ('). The apostrophe will
not show in the cell, but will display in the formula bar.

Thank you for the quick response.
I did try this and it is still rounding my number. I don't need
to calculate
it, but I do need that last number to display. I put the number
in quotes,
and than ran a right and left function. This got the
number...is there
another way?

By a large number, I guess you mean one containing 15
digits.
You need to format the cell as text. You won't of course be
able to do
any arithmetic with it.
