Can You Stop a Cell From Rounding

Hi,
I am using cells simply to hold decimal numbers. What is the maximum number of decimal places you can go to and can you stop a cell from rounding the number?
Thanks
Steve

I believe it is 5 locations. If you aren't going to calculate on the result then you can use
=rounddown(2/3,5) to get the exact rounded value to the 5th location.
If you are going to calculate on the value and need it to exactly represent beyond 5 digits, the program visually rounds the number, but does not calculate off the rounded number. So if you leave it as you can still use it in calculations.
