Can scientific notation be turned off?

[Fan924]

Can scientific notation be turned off in a workbook? I deal with rows
of hex numbers it continues to convert to scientific notation. Can I
just do away with it? Excel 97?

Depends upon what the rows of hex numbers look like and how you are entering
them

Usual workaround is to enter the numbers as text.

Preface the entry with an apostrophe or pre-format the cells to text.

Maybe a small sample of your data would help us to suggest something.
