Hi,

pre-format as text or enter an apostrophe ' before you type the number.

You could format the cell as a Number with the correct no of Decimal Places

Enter them in cells preformatted as Text or with a leading apostrophe
(').

If this post helps click Yes

So what number of decimal places do you think will display 18 significant
figures? Or are you using some new version of Excel which doesn't have the
limit of 15 significant figures?
