D'all,
In a column, I hav 16 digits numbers. But when I add 4 digit number after
last digit of that number becomes 4 zeros at last. e.g. 9503170011002910 (16
digit number) 1425 (4 digit number) becomes 95031700110029100000 whether it
should be 95031700110029101425

Excel can only handle 15 digit numbers, after that everything gets shown as
0. If you want 20 digits you will have to hold it as text.

If you want to use the number in calculations, you are out of luck.
Excel recognizes only the first 15 digits when a number is entered.

If the "number" is really an identifier (e.g. serial number or tax id)
and it will not be used in computation, you can enter it as text by
prefixing with an apostrophe (single quote). For example,
'95031700110029101425.
