Default Display Numbers in CSV file over 15 digits

Hi,

I download a data file from a system in CSV format, one of the column contains serial numbers which are more than 15 digits. it looks like this:
8.91E+18

I will need the 18 digits as reference number to do vlookup in other reports. However, no matter how I manipulate the data, the last a few digits only show as zero ever though I know they should not be, looks like this:
8912220000248760000

I know that Excel only can only take 15 digits of numbers in a cell, but is there a way to make it become text and to show all 18 digits properly? In another word, how can I find out whether the last a few digits were indeed missing in the downloaded CSV file?

Thanks!
