;)Hello,
I have some simple VBA code that puts a 24 digit number into a worksheet, from the web. Tthe number always shows up as 2.46104E+22 (scientific) instead of 24610431121004074034237. I’ve tried to custom format it to no avail.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Is there a way to display the full number?<o:p></o:p>
Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Excel will only display numbers to 15 significant digits.

Try saving as a text string.
