Excel is a big problem in itself. IT will arbitrarily change the data that is
loaded.
Try a zipcode with leading zeros or a social security number with keading
zero. Excel will happily throw away all leading zeros.
Try to import a '1234e45' value. Excel will happily convert the data to
scientific notation.
Excel is a corrupt program.
