Nothing to worry about. The Excel column is too small to display. Expand the column to see the full number.

Once you open Excel, be sure to change the format of those columns to text. NOT general. TEXT. Unless you need to do arithmetic. In which case, use a specific numeric format. Otherwise, you could end up with the long numbers saved in scientific notation and loose part of the values.
