Major data loss: Calc formatting numbers

A new OOo user is using Calc to store information on volunteers in an
organization. Israeli ID numbers are 9 digits in length, such as this:
317907977

However, Calc has reformated them to this:
317908000

This is a major dataloss for the organization. The person in charge is
pissed, and both myself and OOo are to blame. OOo is already coming
off their machines (14 desktops, and I think a few laptops as well)
and I am tasked with recovering the missing data. Is this possible?
