I have a table I want to paste into excel. There are some codes likes like
"01", "01a", "01b", (quotes are not in html table). This should all be text,
but Excel keeps converting "01" to general format, and displaying as "1".
This is making it difficult to use pivot tables, and displaying correctly.
What can I do?
 
I need the data to save in separate columns, as it is in the table. When I
paste as text, it ends up in one column, which is worse.
 
You can then split it into columns by Data->Text to columns option and specify
the type for each column
