    Excel Tracking In Scientific Notation Numbers

    The issue here is everytime I export my tracking from Shipstation, it exports the CSV Only so the tracking in Column V shows as Scientific Format, Is there any way I can Create a button on the spreadsheet that i can press so it can show the full tracking number ?

    I have attached a File for your reference.

    Any Help is greatly appreciated!

    You need to import the column as text to prevent the conversion to a number. Change the file extension to .txt, and import using the import wizard.

    In Cell View

    It is 11 Digits
    More than 11 Digits will show as 1.23457E+11 in the cell

    In Formula Bar View

    Upto 15 digits will show as it is
    More than 15 Digits it will convert the subsequent number entries as show as 0 zeros.

    Addition of digits more than 15 to 21 will be automatically treated as zeros.

    More than 21 digits then it will retain the 15 digits and replace all the zeros with + and set the first number as integer and move the rest of the digits in the decimal area and add the length of that number in the end.

    No you can't

    Because after 15 digits your original numbers are converted as zero.

    Follow shg method on Post #2 which is the only way you have to go...

    Because you can control the data at the time of exporting once you exported the Numerical data into excel (Which have more than 15 digits) as real numbers then you don't have any control over it
