Hi guys!

When importing large numbers from a csv file, Excel interpreted these numbers as scientific numbers. Formatting the column doesn't help. Only when I activate the cells and Enter, the number becomes visible again. How can I solve this? Also Text to Columns trick doesn't help.

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
You can import as you did. Then create another sheet. Format as text. Then copy paste value to new sheet. I think this will work
