Help with imprting a csv file into excel

[ajmister]

Hi

I am importing a .csv file into excel. One of the columns has values
like 46120E60, 03235E10 etc. When the .csv file is imported into excel those
values are changing from 46120E60, 03235E10 to 4.612E+64 and 3.24E+13. Any
suggestions on how to fix that.

in step 3 of the import wizard, highlight all columns and check the text box
on the top right. That should fix the problem.
good luck

CSV files don't trigger the import wizard and if you use the opentext method
in VBA with a file with a .csv extension, then the setting specified in
Opentext command are ignored. At least in most versions of excel.

I tried the 'Data->Import Data' menu option, and then choose 'All Files'
under the 'files of Type' dropdown box for files with both .csv and .txt
extension
in EXCEL XP (2002).

You are correct about that. I normally think of File=>open in this context
and most of my testing has been in older verions. In any event, your
response probably provided the OP some additional information.

Thank you, the 'Data->Import Data' menu option helped solve the issue.
