Hi all, I am working for a file where the input file has generic numeric values ex - 1E+13 , 1.00017E+13. I want these numbers to be in correct data format, I am using string and Int64 even double datatype but the numbers are not correct. The output numbers are different with many 0's. Kindly guide me through the steps to perform the task. The numbers are ID's and are having more than 15 digits. Kindly help

Hi @Kaish Is the data coming from an Excel sheet if so could you share a couple values in an Excel file? The sample data you shared when converted to a double would be 10000000000000.
