Import *.csv file into Excel with 16-digit number converted to tex
I have *.csv file with 16-digit number(which is actually text ID), when I am
trying to open this file with Excel- it shows the 'scientific' notation for this column, converting the column to text causes the rounding of the last digit to 0 and then I am not able to use it as an ID. |

In the Text Import Wizard, Step 3 of 3, you can force the import format of
individual columns. There you must specify that the ID column is text. Otherwise, since Excel will interpret it as numeric, because it can. Excel (like almost all software) uses IEEE double precision strage for numers. Double precision is not capable of representing all 16 digit integers, so MS chose to never display more than 15 digits (documented in Help) for a number.

Import *.csv file into Excel with 16-digit number converted to tex
Let you try add = "" & "<16-digit" in your csv file
For example: = "" & "0123456789123456789" I am not sure that this will help you.
