Mike,
I suspect that was happening. I inserted a single quote before the value in the cell that only has numbers, reloaded the spreadsheet and it worked fine. The spreadsheet is generated by an end user and I wouldn't like to have her format that column before sending the spreadsheet every time, but that could be the work around for now.

Thank you,

Subject: Re: [SystemiDotNet] Datagridview and Excel...

Excel automatically thinks that if there is a number, it is a numeric field.
I haven't worked with Excel like that before, is there a way to change it to
a different format in the program? That would be my uneducated idea.

Hello,

Even though technically this is not .net and iSeries, indirectly it is. I
am loading an Excel spreadsheet into a datagridview. One of the columns has
alphanumeric data. Now, some of the values in the cells on this column
contain only numbers. When I load the data into the datagridview, the cells
that have only numbers show up blanks on the datagridview while the cells
that have characters and numbers show up ok. This data will be used by the
application later to cross-reference it to a table on the iSeries.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening and give me any suggestions on how
to resolve this?

As always, your help is greatly appreciated...

Thank you,
