How are you importing it?

If as a text file through the Wizard, make sure you click on that column and
assign it the Text datatype

I did click test datatype my other number in the column EX 2253 are coming
trough as text only the two items with an "E" in the middle (10E3 & 22E3)
are having the problems. it converts it to 10000 or 1.00E+04. "E19" has no
problems either.
