E+16 in number
 

Hello:

I have a number that I need to multiply by an 8 digit number. This comes out
to be a 16 digit result. However when I use Msgbox and use left(Number, 4)
the number shows as E.G. 8.35... how can I make that the result should show
as a full number not as "8.533424E+16"?

Please help.

Thanks

in excel help, type the word spectications. click on calculation specs
15 digits is the max that excel will display. after that you start getting
the E thing.
excel knows what the number is but wil not display.

In four characters, how would you want the number to appear?

Hi,

You're seeing the results in scientific notation, in your code you might
want to look at the FORMAT(X,"###,###,###,###,##0") function where X is the
number your calculation is returning. Also, it would be good to look up CInt
in the VBA Help system to understand a little about type conversions.

FYI - in the spreadsheet Excel shows and works with a maximun of 15 digit,
but your largest number can be ~1X10^304 (10 to the 304th power)

If this helps, please click the Yes button.
