Converting from scientific to integer/decimal

I have been playing around with converting a number scientific to integer or decimal. This is data that is coming from a spreadsheet and needs to be processed as a number. Since it can be a 12 digit number Excel automatically converts it to scientific format. (BTW, is there a way to permanently turn off this behavior?)

I have played w/ some of the RPG BIFs and the atof C API, but can't seem to get it working. Does anyone have some sample code that does this? TIA.
