How much maximum digit number can Microsoft Excel work with
Default number format in Excel is General therefore you can display up to 11 digits in a cell.
In cells of excel that are formatted as text, you can type up to 32,767 characters, of which Excel displays up to 1,024 characters on the worksheet you cannot create a custom number format that stores more than 15 digits.
If I type in a 16 digit number (format: number, no decimals) it changes the number on me. Example: 1234567812345678 changes the view to 1234567812345670.
If I type it in as a general format it changes the numbers above so it displays 1.23457E+15 but if you click on the cell, the display shows the last digit as a 0 instead of an 8 once again.
I opened the file on a different computer and same issue now with it. I have changed the auto correction and auto formatting all to no avail. Help!
