Default last digit automatically changes to zero (0)

Hi

This is happening because Excel is limited to 15 digits' precision with
numerical values. You need to adjust the format of the cells in which
you are entering these numbers to Text. The values will be 'seen' as
text in which case (ie you can't sum them for example) but I presume
that won't be an issue for you.

Hope this helps!
