MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / January 2006Importing number as text. How?
I have a csv file with zip codes (5 digit): "asdf","asdf","53902" Excel is DETERMINED to convert the zip code column to a number. Of course the problem is that certain zip codes have only 4 digits and Excel won't keep the leading zero. There is a Microsoft article that says to put a leading blank in the field, but this doesn't work. How do I import these zip codes as text, and not numbers? TIA, Larry Woods Rename the file from .csv to .txt: This will cause Excel to invoke an import wizard. You can then specify text fields  SignatureGary's Student > I have a csv file with zip codes (5 digit): > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Larry Woods |
