Import xlsx double column as string

[wonka1234]

In my excel file my column is a general format.

I have various values in this column , ie:

Field

0

FY21DP

FY22DP

FY20DP

Y

FYDP22

FY 22DP

FY22DP (Y)

Yes

why is this being read in as a double? Can I read it in as a string without doing anything to the excel workbook?

@DQAUDIT I dont have access to alter the excel file itself, but i will keep that in mind if that changes.
