Or create a custom format to show it as 1234 1234 1234 1234. That way, it is
also esier to read the card numbers Custom format as 0000 0000 0000 0000 -- HTH Kassie Replace xxx with hotmail "gls858" wrote: dreamer wrote: While creating a sheet with credit card numbers I noticed that upon placing the 16th digit and any after that , the numbers are zeros There are no fomats in those cells.

But for the custom number format to work, the value will have to be entered as a
number (not text). And that means that the 16th digit would be changed to a 0 again. Kassie wrote: Or create a custom format to show it as 1234 1234 1234 1234.
