"The Beckster" <The wrote in message
...
I am importing text files to Excel and they contain mathematical operators

as
part of the data. (For example "++" to denote a quantity of something.)

Excel
will not allow these characters as it thinks they are mathematical. Is

there
any way of stopping this happening?
Thanks in advance


Format the columns as text when importing.
