    How to Round a Long Number down?

    I have a long list of numbers in Column J (example below):

    58
    24
    3499999999999990
    43
    50000000000001
    40000000000006

    However, these super long numbers are coming up as things like:

    5E+13
    4E+13
    9.9E+14
    1.4E+14

    I want to just round these numbers so that they'll only show the first 3 digits. I thought about using a LEFT formula but this wouldn't work for where the number is only 2 digits long and doesn't need cutting down.

    Does anyone please have any suggestions? Thank you!

    This formula rounds the referenced value to 3 decimal places

    When I try this, it's not working for those showing as: 4E+13 , 9.9E+14, 8.3E+14, etc.

    I've discovered that if you just format these as 'Number' it works though! :D Thanks for the help any way though!
