Leading zeros disappear in Excel
A reference code is not an amount. Automatic spreadsheet typing can drop zeros or round long values. ORDO keeps leading-zero and long identifiers as text during supported conversion.

Common import problems
- Automatic number typing dropped the first zero.
- An identifier was treated as a number instead of source text.
- Values beyond 15 significant digits can lose precision.
Keep the source value
- Leading-zero and long identifiers remain text in supported XLSX output.
- Unambiguous amounts can remain numeric and be summed.
- Inspect the preview before export; dates and separators may be ambiguous.
When digits were already lost
Return to the original source. A known fixed-width format can sometimes restore leading zeros, but ORDO does not infer the missing digits. A rounded long number cannot be recovered from that damaged copy.

No. This tool runs inside your browser on this device. ORDO's servers never receive the file, and the page's security policy blocks it from sending file data anywhere.
PrivacyLimits worth knowing
- Conversion preserves values present in the input; it does not recreate lost data.
- Text identifiers are deliberately not summable amounts.
