Excel 97 does not understand more than 15 digit numbers, we want to enter 20 digit numbers. what is the solution to this?

If Excel is assuming mm/dd, even though I have the cell custom formatted as mm/yy, then why do I have no problem with 11/99, or 11/00. Excel can't be assuming 99 and 00 are days?

You want to perform arithmetic on 20 digit numbers? (nt)

If the data is just an "ID" or some non-math input then use a Text input. Or, format more than one cell to hold your input Like: Column1=1234, column2="-", column3=123456789, column4="-", column5=123456789. Or, put the Integer value in one cell and the remainder in another? Or, use sheet formulas to work with large numbers, like: ROUND or enter the number as scientific notation? JSW
