Excel hh:mm:ss format not recognized - excel

so I got a problem in Excel with this format.
This one
1402:18:02
is recognized correctly and I see
27.02.1900 10:18:02
behind.
But for some reason this one
13355:51:33
and this
12450:35:36
is not getting recognized.
Same custom format [hh]:mm:ss is used for all cells.
I have ran out of ideas and have no idea of what to do and how to fix this.

I guess that was a some type of bug / lag with Excel. Now it works.

how to avoid a CSV file to change some rows to date format while using the text-to-column function?

I have CSV file that has some data points separated with dot. While using the tex-to-column function, it changes some of the rows to date format.
I have tried to change the original column format to text but it's keep happening.
Any idea on how to avoid this?
I'm using Excel for Mac 16.50 version
basically by changing the language preferences of my mac from German to US the comma separation changed to semicolon that solved the problem. It's a hacky way of getting rid of an annoying problem but it worked.

SSRS Issue with values that are text and number exporting into excel

I am having an issue where I have similar hyphenated values 1304-4(text) and 1306 (number) The main issue I am trying to overcome, is when I export my SSRS report (.rdl) to excel, I get an error in excel, where it shows numbers are formatted as text. I seek to avoid this, and am open to any solutions to do so. I have searched vigorously and not found a solution that works. I have noticed that I can multiply the numerical values 1306*1.0000 and that would fix the issue, if not for the text values 1304-4*1.000 = null in report. Is there any way to accomplish this? I can cast my dataset as any other type of values, however SSRS only wants one kind of value in a field, as far as I am aware. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
You can try this expression
=IIF(IsNumeric(Fields!<Your Field Name>.Value),Val(Fields!<Your Field Name>.Value),cstr(Fields!<Your Field Name>.Value))

Error using concatenate

I try to merge text with date in a single cell. I looked online and I found the following options:
=G5&TEXT(F5;"DD/MM/YYYY")
And
=CONCATENATE("ZIMMERMANN U-4600 ";TEXT(F5;"DD/MM/YYYY")).
Unfortunatelly , nothing works, although in the other forums everybody was happy with the result. I get a #VALUE! - error.
I played around with the formatting and the languages of windows while giving in the code but nothing helped.
The code has ; instead of , due to the fact that it is a european office-package (and it doesn't work with "," either).
I suspect the #VALUE! error is coming from the TEXT(F5;"DD/MM/YYYY") part. Do trying it alone in a cell as =TEXT(F5;"DD/MM/YYYY"). If this also is resulting in #VALUE! error, then this is the case.
Unfortunately the pattern "DD/MM/YYYY" in TEXT function must be according to the locale settings of the Excel and the system the Excel is running on. In German Excel it must be
=TEXT(F5;"TT/MM/JJJJ") for example.
Have a look at Control Panel - Region what pattern is used for dates there. Then do using the same in TEXT function.
See TEXT function -> Other format codes that are available for another method getting possible format codes directly from the Excel.
This is a big disadvantage of the TEXT function if the Excel file shall be exchanged between different users from different locales.
Better approach then would be:
=TEXT(DAY(F5);"00")&"/"&TEXT(MONTH(F5);"00")&"/"&TEXT(YEAR(F5);"0000")
since the pattern 0 is locale independent.

Change Thousand seperator location in Excel using custom format

I have local machine thousand separator setting as 00,00,00,000. For just a single excel file, I want to change it to 000,000,000
To achieve this, I am using this existing custom format.
[>=10000000]###\,###\,##0;[>=1000000]##\,###\,##0;##,##0
Now, the issue with this formatting is - It only works when the number of digits is less than 9. if more than 9 it does not all any commas. Which makes this > 1234,567,981
I tried using the custom format as
[>=1000000000000]###\,###\,###\,##0;[>=1000000000]###\,###\,##0;[>=1000000]##\,###\,##0;##,##0
Excel is not adding it. It gives an error. My best guess is there is a limit on a number of if that can be added to the custom format.
Any help is appreciated. I am open to using another method to achieve this.
Adding screenshot of Excel after implementing solution suggested in the answers below.
[>=10000000000]###\,###\,###\,##0;[>=1000000000]##\,###\,###\‌​,##0;##,##0
How about
???,???
this works correctly for me up to 15 digits.
