How can I enter over 15 digits in a cell without it rounding off the excess
digits?
 
You can't enter a numeric value > 15 digits so you need to format the cell as
TEXT but obviously you cannot use this for calculations.

Not for Credit Card Number by any chance?

Start with an apostrophe (').

As noted above, this makes a text value, not numeric. You can’t do
arithmetic with it the way you may expect.
 
No, transaction #'s and I don't need math calcs. So text is fine. I got it
now thanks
