importDataTable without formula

I am using the ImportDataTable function and in my dataTable I have some text that starts with the = symbol, for example "=asdf".

This throws an error because it tries to turn that into a formula when it should be just straight text.

Is there a way to import a dataTable or dataColumn and not have it try and convert the text to a formula, or can I set the format of the cells before I import to not look for a formula?

Hi Verrex,

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

1. You cannot import the text that start with "=". But you can import it by giving double quote to that text. Example "=Hai".
2. You cannot set the format of the cell befor you import.

Please refer to the sample in the below link which illustrates the above.

Please let us know if you have any other concerns. We will be glad to assist you.

Regards,
Vinoth
