I cannot write numeric 17 digit in Excel

Asked By johnnahin 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/15/2011

My PC’s operating system is Windows XP SP2. I am using Microsoft Excel 2007. I cannot write above 13 digit in here. If I write, it automatically is converted in different mode. Such as (1.0000 + 13).

I want to write 17 digit number in my Excel cell. Is it possible?

If possible how can I write it?

1. Select the cells that you want to overload the size of the digits.
2. Right click and choose format cells.
3. From Number tab choose the category "Custom".
4. Under type there is a text box just write zeros as long as you want to maximize.

     – For example:

        00000000000000000
