    Excel can only display 15 digits. The limitation of 15 digits is defined in the Excel specification, unfortunately you cannot change it.

     

    Workarounds:

    You can write the number with an apostrophe '7080051902836478 then it will appear as desired.

    You can also convert the number to text from the Format Cells menu

    ... (right-click the cell you want and choose "Format Cells", you'll find the rest :).

     

     

    Hope I was able to help you with this info.
