Number Format
Your number is so large that Excel can only display it in scientific
notation. To see the entire number as entered enter an apostrophe as the first character and follow that with your number. Excel will treat the entry as a text entry and not as a numeric one. -- Kevin Backmann "BAKERSMAN" wrote: I type 93049044627327087000052. I get 9.3049E+22 in the cell.

Change the format from General to Number. With the cell selected, click
Format Cells. On the Number tab, change the category to Number. Set the number of decimal places, whether or not to show commas, then click OK. Widen the column enough to show the whole value.

But as a number that would only give 15 significant figures. To get the
rest it needs to be text, as shown in another reply. -- David Biddulph "Tom Hutchins" wrote in message ... Change the format from General to Number. With the cell selected, click Format Cells.
