SUMMARY
When a Microsoft Excel database is saved in dBASE format (DBF 2, DBF
3, DBF 4), the first record beneath the field names is used to
determine the data type assigned to each field.
MORE INFORMATION
If the first cell in a field contains a numeric entry, Microsoft Excel
assumes that the rest of the data in the column is also numeric. If
there are any textual entries, these are skipped and blank entries
result.
