    Good day,

    I have a problem of interring a long number in excel. for example when i write 441321635511 excel makes it 4.41322E+11. I changed the cell into text but the number does not change.

    Thank you for your support

    Format the cell as Number, 0 decimal places

    Change the cell format from 'General' to 'Number'. If you've already changed it to 'Text' you might need to reinput the number.
