When you import the data (through the text import wizard?), specify the
format of the relevant columns as being text.

I am trying to copy a multicolumn table to my spreadsheet;

However, for about 5 of the fifteen columns, I get a "DATE",
such as

1-3-2000

instead of 1-3-1....which means the team won 1, lost 3, and tied 1.

If I reformat the " 1/3/2000 ", I get 36528 (i.e., the date's numerical
equivalent) -- i.e. still does NOT work.

Also, some columns have roughly half the numbers copied correctly, while
the
rest of the column is, again, an apparent "DATE".

Can anyone help please?

Thanks,
