I’m trying to import some data from Excel to SQL Server, I have a TEXT column with some numbers in it, some of the numbers go over just fine, and some turn into scientific form.

Column in Excel is ‘text’ type, column in the target sql table is varchar(255)

Here are some examples:

Excel [text] -> SQL Server [varchar(255)]
0313852230 -> 0313852230
1024869004 -> 1024869004
1022868890 -> 1.02287e+009
1022868899 -> 1.02287e+009
1022868907 -> 1022868907
1030869319 -> 1030869319
1106869726 -> 1106869726
SomeText -> SomeText

Please help!
