This is an issue with Excel itself, not with PhpSpreadsheet. Excel maintains 15 digits of precision, so will convert the long integer mentioned in this issue to scientific notation. A recent change to DefaultValueBinder (PR #4527) mitigates this to a certain extent by storing the data as a string rather than a number (and its discussion points to where the Excel limit is documented).

Leaving issue closed, removing stale label.
