How do I import fractions without data being converted to dates?
 

I am importing data that was created in France and they used fractions for
the inch data rather than decimals. Now, when I try to import that data,
even though the preview shows it importing correctly, it converts the
fractions to dates because I suppose it sees the forward slash. How do I
make it recognize them as fractions and not dates?

Thanks,

Ray,

Format the column for text in the import wizard.
