I am using dts to import an excel file to a table.
I have a field phonenumber and cellnumber and dts is automatically converting it to a float and displaying it like 3.01416e+029
What can I do to keep in in the number format. (I even prefer if the field is a varchar datatype)?

See the column to TEXT in Excel
or
