Why is 128 code coming out as a scientific notation?

1st time I've had this problem and can't figure it out.
16 digit number looks fine in Excel. - 3813287586376150
The resulting 128 bar code = 3.81328758637615e+15

I'm using the IDAutomation VBA macro and the IDAutomation Universal Font. Done this many, many times without a problem.
I know 16 digits can be an issue in Excel but when I get the 16 digits to display properly in Excel, I've never had the barcode then convert to the scientific notation...

Operating System: Mac osX

Application: Excel Mac

Brant	Best Answer Make sure the cells you are encoding are set to Text instead of the default format. You can also do a static test to make sure it is not the function itself by encoding the data directly in the function. Example: =Code128("3813287586376150") If this works, use a process of elimination to find the problem. Posted 5.4 year(s) ago (0) (0) Report Abuse
