Imported Data Shows Numbers Instead Of Text

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the response. Here’s the step-by-step process, from preparing CSV file for upload:


Note here that I have tried to format the problematic columns (columns F and T) in the CSV file to set them as text/general/etc., and it did not help with the problem.

Next, importing this CSV file to my live database:


Preview looks correct here:


Next step also showing that the field would be imported as text:


After import, problem appears:


My url is www.diversify.space
Currently I have manually converted all the problematic cells to text in order for my search function to work, but I have more data to be uploaded, and this problem needs to be resolved.

Current property of my “Year” field is text (field type). I can’t screen capture this, but take my word for it.
If you would like my csv file, please let me know how I can attach it.

Help is appreciated.
