I am using Excel 2010 and my default is .xls
I have a spreadsheet with 16 digit credit card numbers and expiration dates that start with 0. I formatted the columns as text only. I can save the spreadsheet in the xls format with no problems.
However, when I save as a .csv the credit cards turn into the **.*E+ and the expiration dates are only 3 digits. I have tried preserving the format, not preserving (which send me into an endless loop of preserving /not preserving). I have tried saving the original in 97-2003, but that made no difference either.
Can someone help me with this please?
