# Filter Very Large Numbers in Spreadsheet Cells to Precision Numbers

Numbers in Microsoft Excel files can be extracted and written to the output without formatting. By default, numbers are extracted in the format specified by the Excel file (for example, General, Currency and Date). Spreadsheets might contain cells that have very large numbers in them. Excel displays the numbers in a scientific notation that rounds or truncates the numbers.

To extract numbers without formatting, add the following options in the `formats.ini` file:

    [Options]
    ignoredefnumformats=1
