# Values in a Microsoft Excel file with scientific notation don't format correctly in Quick Sight
<a name="troubleshooting-number-formatting"></a>

When you connect to a Microsoft Excel file that has a number column that contains values with scientific notation, they might not format correctly in Quick Sight. For example, the value 1.59964E\$111, which is actually 159964032802, formats as 159964000000 in Quick Sight. This can lead to an incorrect analysis.

To resolve this issue, format the column as `Text` in Microsoft Excel, and then upload the file to Quick Sight.
