How stop Excel default display of pasted number as scientific equa
How do I stop excel from displaying stings of numbers pasted or imported into
excel as a scientific equation? Like 5.73E+08 when the real part number is 549575667. The data displayed in the formula bar is the correct full number but Excel displays the data with the decimal and "+", it does this with imported data from Monarch as well as just a cut and paste from another program. If it is one or two number s I can retype directly and it will not happen but I am pulling data lists with thousands of part numbers. This problems seems worse now that I have Office 2007. Any suggestions? |

How stop Excel default display of pasted number as scientific equa
If you enter 549575667 into a cell with a standard width of 8.43
characters, (64 pixels), Excel will display that as 5.5E+08 which is scientific format not a scientific equation. All mathematical equations have an = sign in them to equate one thing to another such as 3x = 12. To see the characters in the cell, simply make the cell wider. If the number is in cell A1, click on the separator bar between the column A and B headings and drag to the right until the number appears with all of its digits. Tyro "krausch" wrote in message ...
