I believe OP was getting his 13 numbers formatted to Scientific Notation.

1.23457E+12 may look like a formula to some people.

I'm entering a 13 digit number into a cell and instead of displaying the
number typed excel converts the number into a formula. Is there a way of
turning this off so I get what I type? Thanks
