    Go to Home Ribbon tab >> Number Group

    Then choose the Number format from the combo box.

     

    In short, select the number and press Ctrl+Shift+1

     

    There is an idea related to this topic found here.

    It suggests stopping Excel from changing large numbers to scientific notation.
    I advise you to vote for it.
