HOW CAN I STOP PART NUMBERS WHICH HAVE DASHES IN THEM BEING CONVERTED INTO DATES WHEN I DO A DATA IMPORT INTO EXCEL?
 
Yell real LOUD. That does it for me. Seriously, please don't use all caps
for subject or body of msg. It is considered shouting and rude.

Try pre-formatting your destination range to text.

You could try formatting the cells in Excel to Text before the import.

I can tell you that if you are importing HTML to Excel, changing cell format to Text doesn't work.
