How to format a Excel cell to category "Text"

I have a very large number 210020410200001008 in one of the cells, when it got exported to Excel, it gets truncated to 210020410200001000 (NOTE that the last digit become 0 from 8) I check the cell NumberFormat from Excel, it''s defaulted to Generic, how can I change the NumberFormat from Generic to category Text which Excel will display the the cell exactly as entered even the text indeed is a number? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Never mind. I figured out the solution. Just need to add the following line: sheet.Range[i+1,j+1].Text = grid[i,j].Text; to change the default Generic NumberFormat to category "Text" format. Regards
