I have a CSV file that I will open (or import) and which has one column
that contains serial numbers. The problem is that some of the numbers
have this format: 123E567.
Excel promptly converts this text to a number: 1.23E+569. Even if I
then change the format of the cell to text, it still keep the text
1.23E+569.
How can I either prevent the original text from being converted to
begin with or how can I correct it after the fact?
Best regards,
Ken
