Excel only supports numbers that fit in an IEEE754 double, just like JavaScript.

There is some fancy logic to format numbers, however (including some mess for date codes). http://oss.sheetjs.com/ssf/ is a pretty decent implementation in JavaScript.

All versions of Excel have native support for integers.

Excel supports 32 bit integers, which fit comfortably in IEEE754 doubles (there are 64 bit integers which cannot be exactly represented)
