Import xlsx double column as string

wonka1234
10 - Fireball

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.
