Excel changing my numbers
You have to format the cells as text *before* you put the data into the
cell.
As Kevin told you, you can convert the numeric value to a text string as you
type it in by preceding it with an apostrophe.

Problem is that when I format it as text it rounds the last number. Any
other ideas? Not sure how to covert the numeric value to a text string ala
Lotus 1-2-3.

The numbers are so large they're displayed in scientific notation. You
can
format the column as a text format and the numbers will be treated as
text,
or if you prefer you can use an apostrophe prefix to convert the numeric
value to a text string ala Lotus 1-2-3.

get past a certain point they will either do (4.11248E+15) this or they

round to the nearest number. It is imperative that I have these
numbers
exactly the way that I put them in. Can someone help me asap???
Thanks!!
