Default Changing text to numbers

Hello,

Hows it going?
When I import some of my data to excel from access some of the format for
numbers is in text format. If it is like this it gives me the option to
convert to number format, like its an error with a [!]. So now, I converted
it to number format but I want to convert it back to text. I can change it in
the format with a right click, but it is not the original format I want. So
basically, how do I get these numbers back? The main goal is to do a vlookup
off of the converted numbers to another sheet that has the old format[!]
without getting a #n/a.
