CSV imported data being formatted as a date
I am importing a .CSV file into excel 2000. The 3rd column contains
data that looks like a date: "MB","xxxxx FJC ","07/13/08 " "MB","xxxxx FJC ","07/15/08 " "MB","xxxxx FJC ","07/23/08 " excel displays this data as 7/13/2008, 7/15/2008, ... problem is, when I format the column as "text" the value "39642" is displayed in place of "07/13/08", "39644" in place of "07/15/08". How do I get excel to load the .CSV file with "text" formatting on all columns? Or, how do I format the 3rd column to display the original, loaded data? thanks, |
