It looks as though the column width is too narrow to accommodate the
information in the cell. Click on the cell (or column or row) and <Format <Column or <Row (as appropriate) <AutoFit selection Come back if that doesn't solve the problem. Regards.

Give more detail as to what EXACTLY what you're trying to do. Is 132 in A1, 133 in A2 and 134 in A3 and so on? What do you mean by "I merged it and entered the desired numbers"? Are you trying to put more than one number in the merged cell or are you trying to merge cells with data already in them. Your post isn't very clear. Remember we can't see what you see. Give us details. gls858 |

Preformat that cell as Text or start your entry with a leading apostrophe:
'123,123,123,123,123,123,123...
