First - I'm sure that there's already a solution for my problem out there somewhere, and I have looked and looked but have so far been unsuccessful in achieving the results I am trying to get, so sorry that this is probably an often repeated question!
I have some long numbers that Excel is destroying and I can't figure out a workaround. I have 70,000+ records on a spreadsheet which has a column of numbers that are 23 characters long.
These numbers are all similar to the below (once I convert them to numbers from the 1.00016E+22 that excel puts them in initially)
10252866400926800000000
57100525138106800000000
What I need to be able to do is do is get rid of the ending 800000000 from every record. I've tried splitting column, find and replace, trimming from the right, etc and none work. I don't know what else to do so am hoping that someone on this message board has an idea.
Thanks
