Default Importing from Excell files - 03-04-2004 , 05:03 PM






I am having trouble importing data from Excel. The problem
is when I have a column in Excel that contains something
like "1, 1, xcra, and time1" none of the data comes over
in the import. Is there something I can set so that all of
the data comes over regardless of a cells content?

Thanks

Is all the data for that column of that style?
Do none of the column values come across?
What are you pumping into?
Does the column value actually include the "

I have just tested and it works to import data like yours.

There are issues with Excel and you can see some mentioned here
