I am fairly new at using Excel - I am attempting to create a spreadsheet that includes vehicle information.... the Vehicle Title Numbers are seventeen digits - after I insert those numbers they appear to be calculated/converted in some way - the seventeen digit number is converted into the following: 5.74094E+15

If I double-click within that cell, then the number reverts back to the seventeen digit number I entered. Is there some way I can prevent the Title Number from being calculated/converted?
