When I make a Cell Update of an 18 Digits Number (A User ID), it is rounded off to 15 significant figures(sf), leaving the last 3 digits as 000 and leaving the answer in Scientific Form.
Example: When i set Cell A1 to 847996733362936884 programmatically, it ends up in the spread sheet as 8.48E+17 or 847996733362936000 in the Formula Bar
I don't think there's a need for a picture as the description above is self explainable.
If someone can get me an explanation that would be great!!!
I'm using Gspread (Sheets API v4) and have made sure that any other components that may be a hindrance to this problem have been eliminated.

I am new in VBA, and I got a task to find a way to implement the 5 stars review like in Amazon/Ebay with graphical stars itself for an excel table. Is it possible that? or even to combine with other technologies.
All I need are some hits, how to do that, and where to start.
Based on your last comment I would like to merely sketch the basic concept of doing such rating manually. Since I couldn't fit it in a comment box I'll put it here as a conceptual draft of what it might look like (this is not an attempt to be a solution):
(1) Getting a star on a sheet is as simple as that
Sheet1.Shapes.AddShape Type:=msoShape5pointStar, _
Left:=100, Top:=100, Width:=7.2, Height:=7.2
(2) Getting four more stars next to it should be simple enough by adding the width of prior star(s) and some extra space to the Left.
(3) Color your star(s) yellow or white with presets (Office 2010+)
.ShapeStyle = msoShapeStylePreset12
(4) In order to locate the stars on the sheet next to the cell containing the value which should be rated you can use the following methods assuming that the value is in cell A1:
.Left = Sheets(1).Range("A1").Left + Sheets(1).Range("A1").Width
Of course, there is a bit more to it than the above. You will have to determine the range of cells for which you want to create stars. Also, if someone adds a column or changes the width of a column then all stars might get changed and will have to be drawn again. Also, you'll have to make sure that the column B is wide enough to hold all the stars. But that's the basic concept (as I would attempt to do it).
Using Excel, lets say I have a validation list made of 5 values like this one :
Patate
Tomate
Courgette
Concombre
Patate
In a cell containing a drop down list made of these 5 value, I select the fifth value : "Patate".
I want to get in VBA that this cell contains the 5th value of my validation list. Something like :
x = Cell.Validation.GetIDValueSelected
x = 5
I can't use Vertical search because I might have 2 or even more time the same value in my list (too long to explain why).
This list is also dynamics (depending of another sheets) so it doesn't always contains 5 values.
I hope I made it clear for everyone to understand my needs but I will be glad to add more information if needed.
Thank you for your time.
Sadly, once you have used DV to fill a cell with junk, there is no way to tell which piece of junk you picked:
You would have to pad each piece of junk with a different number of blanks.
Information
I have a column of about 300 part numbers that is constantly expanding. These part numbers can be only numbers, only letters, or a combination of both. I'm using dynamic named ranges with the part numbers to fill combobox lists. When the user types in the part number in the combobox, if we've done that part before it will autofill as they keep typing. I've recently ran into a problem with this however with a recent group of parts that was added.The part number is just a six digit number, and are the only part part numbers that solely consist of numbers, every other one has letters, or if its just numbers there are hyphens in the part number. The combobox I'm filling with this named range does show these numerical part numbers in its list, but does not autofill them when the user types and does not autofill the other information associated with the part number in other textboxes when the part number is done being typed in.
Question
Can anyone help me understand why it isn't autofilling the numerical value but it fills every other value?
Code
Here is the code I'm using to fill the combobox list and the dynamic range formula. Let me know if you need anything else to help you give an answer.
=OFFSET('Part List'!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA('Part List'!$A:$A),1)
comboxPartNumber.List = Range("Part_Number").Value

I cannot add a comment, sice I am 2 points short :(, so I am forced to post this as a solution:
Try to make all the numbers strings.
Dim R As Range
For Each R In Range("Part_Number").Cells
If IsNumeric(R.FormulaLocal) Then R.FormulaLocal = "'" & R.FormulaLocal
Next
Let me know if it worked.
I have a Word 2007 doc with a lot of tables. Each table has certain cells filled with 2 custom colors. I created a macro which takes for input 3 values to feed the RGB function, creating one of the colors, matches it against each of the colors, and changes the match with a new color.
I used an If statement that compares the color of the filled cell with the color returned by the RGB function, feeding the function with the input given by the user.
If ActiveDocument.Tables(k).Range.Cells(j).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = RGB(inputRed, inputGreen, inputBlue) Then
'code
end if
As I was looking through the document to see the results, I noticed that a few cells from 3 tables were left with the old color, so apparently the macro could not recognize it.
In Word 2007 I selected the cell that was supposed to have its color changed. I went to Home -> Shading -> More colors -> Custom and saw the 3 values that matched perfectly with the 3 values given as input by the user.
After 30 minutes of staring at the monitor, I thought about going to the doctor to have my eyes examined. :)
Before doing that though, I started to debug the app. on each of the cells that were not changed. Upon examining this line:
ActiveDocument.Tables(k).Range.Cells(j).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor
I saw that it returned -1.
I am thinking -1 is the equivalent of null or nil, meaning that either the cell is not filled, but if so, why can I see the RGB values? Or perhaps the system can't read the RGB values, but who is this system exactly?
Do you have a link where the Shading.BackgroundPatternColor method is well explained?
I don't know about a value of -1, but colours in Word 2007 changed slightly so that the values were no longer necessarily RGB values. I have written extensively on this - please see http://www.wordarticles.com/Articles/Colours/2007.php
I'd like to have the value of a cell change if a specific set of grouped cells are hidden or not. Is there a worksheet change action for grouping and ungrouping cells? I can't seem to generate one with Macro Recorder; it doesn't seem to care if cells are hidden or unhidden in a group. Then, I can have a macro change the value of the cell in question - I presume easier than coding the cell itself.
Context:
There are 5 lines, one being a total, and the other 4 the accounts making up the total. There is a merged vertical cell across all 5 rows with the title. I like to hide the 4 accounts, but when I do, the merged title cell only diplays enough to fit into one line, so I'd like it to then revert to an abbreviation (which I would provide).
It's a bit esoteric and pointless, but any thoughts?
Solved. This post gives the essentials of what I needed:
