CSV Files and scientific notation

I need some help.  I have to submit a CSV file to a program and it can only be a CSV file.  The issue i have is i have a column of numbers that contain an e in the middle of it so the CSV file automatically converts it to scientific notation.  i have downloaded the power query add in and this doesnt seem to help when i follow the directions.  Can anyone help me figure out how to convert the numbers back to numbers and not in scientific notation.  I already tried converting it to text and using formulas and anything else.  Please help

Thank you

Mike

    Enclose the text in double quotes and place an equal sign in front of it like the following and then save as csv.

    ="0503E000"
