Using order numbers, I am using vlookup to find USPS tracking number for shipment. The tracking numbers are formatted as General and look like this ="92748999985581543478078036".

Unfortunately, it is not returning that number, but instead scientific notation. What is the easiest way to fix this please?

Thanks,

Oscar

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).

Perhaps =text(VLOOKUP(...),"#")
Thanks Arthur! That is getting me closer, but still not quite there. The tracking number is 92748999985581543478081692. Your vlookup formula is returning
92748999985581500000000000.

Any ideas?

Have you tried formatting the cell with the formula as General?
