Number Formatting help
I have a series of part numbers in an excel spreadsheet
They should be 12 digit numbers however some of the numbers are displaying , apparently at random, in scientific notation as exponents. If I click on the number in question it displays normally in the formula bar but the cell is scientific notation. I have formatted the whole column and it still seems to happen at intervals. Any suggestions? |

Format the cells as Number with zero decimal places. Ensure that the
column is wide enough to show all 12 digits. Hope this helps.

I had already tried that solution but it keeps reverting even though the
entire column is formatted that way and it is more than wide enough. Thanks anyway "Pete_UK" wrote: Format the cells as Number with zero decimal places.
