Scientific notation in text cells
Thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping for a way to change a whole column
at once. I figured it out:
Highlight the column. From the Data drop down menu click on €śText to
Columns€ť. This will open a €śConvert Text to Columns Wizard€ť. Click on Next
until you reach Step 3. In the upper right of the window there will be a box
called €śColumn data format€ť. Change from General to Text.

I have been given an excel file with 16 digit account numbers that need
modification. I am running up against the 15 digit precision limit. Is there
any way to change the format for these cells to text without defaulting to
scientific notation (eg 2.1761E+15)?
