Excel's standard column width is 8.43 characters, 64 pixels. You might see
something different if you increase your column width. Click on the column
separator bar at the right of the column header (B, for example) and drag to
the right.

I have a problem when using numbers in excel. I've created a record called
UPC for my item references and number are supposed to be viewed as this:
659078740069. I save the format in csv. and when I go to reopen to file
the
numbers that I've entered show as 6.59079E+11. I've changed the format of
the
number from General to Number, save, close and open and it displays
6.59079E+11 again I go on to stretch the record to see if it shows the
number correctly but they don't show. I change the format of the cell from
general to text and again it shows 6.59079E+11 its frustrating because I'm
uploading my csv files onto a online inventory management program called
netsuite and I need to be able to display these numbers correctly if
anyone
can help me PLEASE DO!!!!!
