Number of significant digits allowed in a cell is 15.
I need to enter a total of 16 significant digits in a cell. The problem that
I am experiencing is that the 16th digit always returns as the number "0". I need to display the actual digit that is entered into that cell. How can I accomplish this task? |

Microsoft Excel retains only 15 significant digits so you can not store and
manipulate nos with 16 significant digits after the decimal. See http://www.cpearson.com/excel/rounding.htm for details. "Quippian" wrote: I need to enter a total of 16 significant digits in a cell.

Hi,
You can display it if you precede the number with a ' which wont show in the cell but 15 digits is the limits of precision in Excel.
