Excel Misc >> please reply Using data validation you can set Allow:decimal, Data:less than and Maximum
10000000000000. This will stop users entering more than 13digits before the
decimal point. I don't know of a way to limit the decimal places entered,
but you can set the cell formatting to only show the first 9 places.

In data validation you can alos set an error alert to let the user know why
their data has been rejected.

Excel Misc >> please reply You must use a text string for this since excel has only 15 digits precision
