Excel numeric precision is 15 significant digits.
If you don't need to calculate with the number, for example credit card numbers, make it text by preceding the entry with an apostrophe. The apostrophe will not show. Another way is to format the cells as text before entering the numbers. -- Kind Regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Ravi Mohan Sahay" <Ravi Mohan wrote in message ...
