Cell format on reading .csv file
I have a .csv file where fields may have value "01234".
When I read this file into Excel, I want the cell to be formatted as text (so the 0 is retained). By default Excel formats as numeric and loses the 0. There is an alternative where I can rename the file as .txt and use the wizard, but I want to see if there is a simpler alternative. I have tried prefixing the field with "'" character, but that resyults in the value "101234" in the cell. Any ideas? |
