Excel has a limit of 15 digits for numeric data so any
digits after this will be 0. If the data is a reference number, and
therefore you do not [cannot] want to use it for calculations, then enter the
data as text.

Format the cell(s) as text and then enter the data or prefix the data with a
single quote (')

e.g. '12345678901234567890
