16 DIGIT NUMBERS IN CELL WITHOUT LAST DIGIT BEING A ZERO
 
when typing a credit card number with 16 digits the last digit always returns
as a zero. Is there a way around this.

You will have to format it as text. Excel only supports 15 signifcant
figures. (Many computer programs have this limitation.)
Try formatting the cells as text before you type the numbers in.

Hi
and another option would be to precede your entry with an apostrophe. e.g.
'1234567890123456
