What are you trying to do that needs more than 15 digits?

15 digits is the standard for IEEE representation of floating point numbers.
Why do you need more?

For credit card numbers, etc., use text (preceed the digits with a
single quote). Otherwise Excel and almost all other general purpose
software uses IEEE double precision math.
