Solution 1

"IMEX=1;" tells the driver to always read "intermixed" (numbers, dates, strings etc) data columns as text. Note that this option might affect excel sheet write access negative.

Upvoted to counter the 1 vote. Sheesh, some people do not have the courtsey to tell why they down voted an answer.

Thanks man. I agree, and I don't understand as well why it was downvoted. Well, we just have to accept that idiots do exist. :)

I voted 5. Funny thing - the OP asked the same question again and I posted a similar answer without knowing he was repeating the question). Crazy!

Thanks.

Not really, you're actually doing a good job in answering the question. The problem is he's not doing his part on how to post questions properly. :)

My 5! No idea how/why it was downvoted!

Thanks Sandeep. Must be the work of a troll perhaps? :)
