    18 characters in one cell

    When I try to enter 18 numeric characters in a single cell, the last three characters are converted to zeros. I can find no format that would allow me to see all 18 entered characters. Is there a way of doing this?

    Put an apostrophe in before entering the number... this will make it a text string...

    Excel's precision is only to 15 digits
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
