It looks like the default format is too short for you (Goodness knows why SAS Institute chose best12. as default! )

This works fine if you add a format statement:

ods tagsets.excelxp file="%sysfunc(pathname(WORK))\t.xls";
ods tagsets.excelxp
options(sheet_name="Business Interruption"
autofit_height='yes' frozen_headers='yes' autofilter='yes' embedded_titles='yes' );

data BUSS_INT; 
 X=1234567890123; output;
 X=123.4567890123; output;
 format X best32.16;
run;
proc print data=BUSS_INT label noobs;
run;

ods tagsets.ExcelXP close;
