    Excel changing the number?

    Hi guys,

    Basically been trying to copy and paste a number from gmail to excel.

    The number is: 10150209503312053

    Excel changes the last 3 digits to 000. Example:

    4c2aae21dcfdd0feec69588be2d532975b8e42ecd3.png

    I need the exact number pasted.

    I have tried pasting it as text, and played around with the decimals with no luck.

    Any recommendations?

    Cheers,
    Chris

    This is because Excel supports maximum of 15 digit number. Format cell as Text before you paste it. This should take care of the problem.
