Gord,
Thanks for pointing this out. My solution works for numbers upto 15 digits.

Have you tried this with a 17 digit number?
Might be you should. You could be surprised by the result.

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?
