12 digit number rounding down why?
You sure it is only 12 digits?
Excel will add a zero after 15th digit. Never seen after 12 digits. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 17 Mar 2010 06:00:01 -0700, Lyd wrote: 12 digit number entered with cell formatted as just a number is rounding to end in zero all the time. Help please. cell is not locked |
12 digits - auto change
This happens to me as well.
If you enter a credit card number (12 digits) Excel automatically changes the last number to a Zero. The only way I found around this was to add the spaces like the credit card has, but I could not find a solution for adding 12 digit numbers together. We are using Excel 2003.

I guess the credit card numbers are 16 digits. Wasn't thinking. Is there any way around the auto correct for that 16th digit?

Precede the numbers with an apostrophe which won't show in the cell.
OR pre-format the cell as Text then enter the 16 digits Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 10 May 2010 11:16:37 -0700, Leah S wrote: I guess the credit card numbers are 16 digits. Wasn't thinking.
