Import XML to Excel, to date conversation issue












0















I need to import XML files to Excel book, but got one issue: Excel convert some number values to date.
It happens when numbers are separated with dot or hyphen. The "dot problem" is solved (i changed system separator to comma), but hyphen still makes trouble.



Example:
XML file code:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Order>

    <Head>

        <OrderCode>ZWA00013819</OrderCode>

        <DateOfShipment>20181231</DateOfShipment>

        <OrderType>LA </OrderType>

    </Head>

    <Detail>

        <Article>5526-02</Article>

        <QuantityPC>30</QuantityPC>

        <PackType>ut</PackType>

        <DateExpiry>26.12.2019</DateExpiry>

    </Detail>

</Order>


Import result screenshot



first row - standard import, second - import to row in text format.
In both cases excel convert it to date, but i need to keep the number ("5526-02") instead.
Could someone please help with this problem?
I need to find the way to keep values in the same format as they shown in xml file, desirable without modifying original file.

  • Using the Data -> Import path, you should be able to specify the format of your column by clicking edit on the bottom of the import wizard, right click the column header to change the column data type (try Text).

Para el género de plantas, véase Musa (planta). Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo...
