Excel supports 15 significant digits. Since you won't be doing any math on this, it's not really a number, but text. Precede the number with an apostrophe and you can enter as many numerals as you like. -- Dick Kusleika MS MVP - Excel www.dailydoseofexcel.com jhahes wrote: I am putting a number in cell A1 the number is an order number that was generated however when I put in the number, the last few digits are showing as 0's.
