Hi Elyan,

this number exceeds the range of an U64 number (which only allows 18446744073709551615 max).

It also exceeds the precision of a DBL or EXT number so you will lose some digits:

It already is a number, right. I assume you want to convert it to a numeric datatype. There is no LabVIEW datatype that can hold this number and keep all significant digits. You need to craft your own datatype. (e.g. a cluster of two U32). Then you need to write all needed basic operations (formatting, scanning, add, multiply, etc. from scratch).
