Gday All,I have searched your great disscusion group but cannot find a answer
to this question .When I use the Import data wizard some data does not come
,it appears that if the a column has mainly numbers and a with a few cells
with only text in them the text will not import and vice versa,I need all the
data ,I could link the sheets but would rather not, I can use VB if needed.
Can some one please help.John

Excel does NOT skip values while importing... If you have delimited data then
your text file might be missing some fields in certain rows...

Can you paste a few sample rows of data here? Or upload the file at
wikisend.com and paste the link here (assuming, of course, there is nothing
confidential)
