Default Format Cell as custom type but data doesn't display like I cus

Either format the cell as text *before* you enter the data, or precede the
data with an apostrophe.

Hi Niek Otten,

Can you please tell me how to enter them as text with the format I want? I
don't need to do the calculation with these data.

Many thanks in advance.

Excel's precision is only 15 decimal digits.
If you need more you'll have to enter them as text, but then you can't
calculate with them anymore
