You could try doing something like replacing all the nulls with some crazy 
negative number
that you could change after import. You know like -1965432765

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Importing Excel spreadsheet

I had thought of that.  When I discussed it with the client, they said it 
would be easy for them to enter an "x" into the integer column for those 
that should come in as null.  The gateway import has an error with stuffing 
the "x" in the integer column so it comes in as null.  All other values on 
the row come in.   When I asked if he would rather resave as a csv, and he 
said he'd rather put in the "x".   I'm guessing that there's no way, then, 
to import a spreadsheet and have an empty number field come in as empty...
