Hi Amol,
(You can infer the correct type based on whether the string parses to a number
etc)
how exactly can i do that, if the string verybig, which cann't fit even in
double.
Obviously if it can't fit in a double, it isn't a double. If you parse
a string into a number, you will probably lose precision anyway.
But Excel isn't precise anyway:
A1 = 10 ^ 60 = 1E+60
A2 = A1 + 1 = 1E+60
A3 = A2 - A1 = 0
For instance, if you're intending to use Excel to store large currency
figures, for instance, think again. It's not reliable for that.
