Default How do I stop last number from changing to a 0 in excel

Excel cannot handle "numbers" that large...Try this

Select the cells that will contain account numbers
FormatCellsNumber tab
Category: Text
Click the [OK] button

That will change the format to treat every value as text.

Does that help?
