Precede the entry with an apostrophe of pre-format the cell(s) as text
Excel can only show up to 15 digits of precision, the rest will be truncated
to a zero. I am assuming you are not making calculations with these kind of
numbers, if you are Excel is not the right tool.

Whenever I try to tpye in a line of 16 numbers in my Excel Spreadsheet,
Excel
changes the last digit to a zero. Anyone else have that problem? If so,
how
did you solve it?
