--- Comment #8 from Algot Runeman <[email protected]> ---
During import, If, under "Other Options", you remove the checkmark from "Quoted
field as text", the data in column J imports as a number instead of text.

The use of single quote "ticks" to force numbers to text is a common practice
(think zip code entry to prevent loss of leading zeros).

If the conversion must be done after the import, it is common to add another
column (say between J and K) and then insert the function =value(J2) into the
new column, duplicating as needed.

This article might have some bearing. There's a format code of the at symbol @
which is invoked in the cells of column C.

I did see the odd result of =sum(c2:c7) being equal to zero while
=c2+c3+c4+c5+c6+c7 gave a value of 79647. The inconsistency is odd.
