  25. The "Text to Columns" method is exactly what we needed. It works better than the Format Cells option because with numbers having lots of digits, Excel put them into Scientific Notation when formatting as text, and that was not at all what we wanted. And this method is simpler than using the Helper column. Thank you.

  26. Excellent.Thank you for the tip.
