How Can I Stop Mathematica From Treating Strings as Numbers in Scientific Notation?

Gregory Lypny
Posted 15 hours ago

Hello everyone,

I have a large CSV data file that includes a variable that is an alpha-numeric ID (CUSIP) for financial securities. When I import the file, Mathematica treats a CUSIP such as 0452E105 as the number 425^105, which it is not. How can I stop Mathematica from doing this?

Set the "Numeric" option to False.

Among the csv import element I see "RawData", which imports as a "two-dimensional array of strings". Have you tried it?
