How can you make Excel 2007 stop formatting large numbers as scientific notation?
You can, but it takes a couple of manual steps. These steps are from Excel 2003, but I'd assume the wizard is similar in 2007:
- Rename the file as TXT. Don't double-click it.
- Open Excel
- Click File, Open
- Locate and double-click the text file
- It should open a "Text Import Wizard"
- In step one, choose "Delimited"
- In step two, uncheck "tab" and check "comma"
- In step three, scroll-over to the last column, shift-click to select all columns, then click "Text" as the format.
- Ignore the annoying "Number stored as text" warnings everywhere
Goes pretty fast with some practice.
