Import Stored Values from a file

[steveosb]

Hi
I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction regarding importing stored values from a csv file. I have a spreadsheet which contains a large number of stored values that I'd like to import into a horse race market. I've used the correct excel template but I am getting the 'cannot parse column x' error. I assume that this could be because the stored value is text rather than a number. Could that be the correct interpretation? If it is, is there a quick way in excel to embed cells containing text in "" so that they import correctly?
Best Regards

Steve
