XL can only recognize 15 digits as numbers, the only way XL can hold more is if it is the form of text. Either format the cell as text, or insert a single quote ' in front of your 17 digit entry. Does this help? Mike Rogers "hit44" wrote: I am totaling a number and the cell does not accept more than 15 digits. Please help???? Thank you in advance Have a good day |

You say that you're *totaling* a number of more then 15 digits.
If this will be a common requirement of your procedures, then XL is *not* the program for you! Try something like Mathematica or Maxima. There are Add-Ins for XL that are supposed to enhance XL's ability to deal with numbers in excess of 15 digits. http://digilander.libero.it/foxes/index.htm -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "hit44" wrote in message ...
