ADODB connection string to retrieve actual values

[gmaxey]

I have an Excel file that contains columns with mixed data formats (i.e., the first row heading is text, the remaining values are percentage, the first row heading is text the remaining rows are currency etc.




I am trying to retrieve these values as their actual displayed percentage, currency values via an ADODB connection:



strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & dbPath & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;IMEX=1"";"



But it isn't working. I am getting their text equivalents e.g, $12.00 is returned as 12
5.00% is returned as .05


Is there a way to get the actual values from the Excel record fields? Thanks
