Excel puts a 0 at the end of my number
I am putting large number into a cell, why does Excel changing my last number

By a large number, I guess you mean one containing 15 digits. You need to format the cell as text. You won't of course be able to do any arithmetic with it.

Thank you for the quick response.
I did try this and it is still rounding my number. I don't need to calculate it, but I do need that last number to display. I put the number in quotes, and than ran a right and left function. This got the number...is there another way?

Precede the number with an apostrophe ('). The apostrophe will
not show in the cell, but will display in the formula bar. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Dan Connors" wrote in message ...
