how to prevent matlab to rounding numbers during excel read

I am reading this value 702438.0482 from excel but Matlab reading it as 7.0247e+05. How can I get original value i.e. 702438.482

@Surendra Sharma: do not confuse the value that is stored in memory and the value that is displayed in the command window. These are two quite different things.

MATLAB did NOT round the number. You misunderstand the difference between how MATLAB displays a number, and what is stored.

format long g

is usually best.
