exported weird contact numbers on outlook

tostartoffwith · tostartoffwith's Computer Specifications

Hi, i exported my contacts from outlook when i left my job, just found out that some of the numbers were turned into weird equations like "4.42E+11". They were in the "scientific" mode, but when i switched them back to "numbers" mode, they're just 44200000000.
This is particularly frustrating as i have no way of going back and re-download the contacts, any way i can convert them into actual phone numbers?
Thanks very much..

If you exported them to a CSV you could try opening them in Notepad to look at the raw data. But it's likely that the numbers are gone. What kind of file format did you export them to?
