I kind of was thinking that..but from what little I have read - if you
take a data dump from a .txt file and convert to Excel - you have to
rekey the text values. Which defeats the beginning purpose. In
addition - I think the sort function will become void at this point?

At this point upper management (not fluent in Excel) is looking at
dumping a lot of text data into numeric data and I am concerning this
will cause havic on any Excel spreadsheets that I may have.
