Scientific notation is a way of representing very large or very small numbers using powers of 10. For example, instead of writing 100,000, you would write it as 1 x 10^5. Excel uses scientific notation when it encounters numbers that are extremely large or small, and sometimes it does this without your permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For example, &#8220;4477009000123&#8221; is converted to &#8220;4.47701E+11&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is no good when it comes to uploading your numbers into FireText. To prevent Excel from automatically converting your numbers into scientific notation, follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sms-box\"><b>Important:<\/b> Take these steps <u>before<\/u> you save your file as a CSV. A CSV will always saves exactly what it sees, so if you save before taking these steps, it will overwrite your original numbers with the incorrect E+ version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 1<\/strong>: Select the mobile number column by clicking on the column header.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-select-entire-excel-column.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-select-entire-excel-column.png 800w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-select-entire-excel-column-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/how-to-select-entire-excel-column-768x288.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 2: <\/strong>Go to Home &gt; Number group &gt; Change Format from &#8220;General&#8221; to &#8220;Number&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 3:<\/strong> Use the shortcut button right below it to decrease decimal places to none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Convert-number-to-original-format-in-Excel.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Convert-number-to-original-format-in-Excel.png 800w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Convert-number-to-original-format-in-Excel-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Convert-number-to-original-format-in-Excel-768x288.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sms-box\"><b>Save what you see:<\/b> When you save your data in Excel as a CSV file, it saves what it sees, which means if you save your numbers in the incorrect E+ format, you lose the numbers you originally entered. Before you make any changes, ensure you keep a copy of your original Excel file. Essentially, the CSV will overwrite the data in E+ form if you save it this way.<\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s it! Your mobile numbers will now be displayed in their original format without being converted into scientific notation. You can now save your data as a CSV file. Simply select \u2018save as\u2019 and hit the \u2018CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv)\u2019 option, and upload your contacts into FireText.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;re now equipped to tackle Excel&#8217;s automatic scientific notation conversion. Happy data handling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever entered mobile numbers into Excel only for them to be converted into a strange E+ format?
