I am brand new to Crystal reports and I am in desperate need of some assistance.  I have been given the task of converting an Excel spreadsheet into Crystal and have found that when I get the report set up some of my values do not appear on the report.  It seems that the values that do not show up are "string" and the ones that do are "numbers" and I was wondering if this could be a problem with the spreadsheet or the Crystal report set up.  Please Help.

I have verified that all of the fields in that column are set as Number.  It did not make any difference.  I copied one of the problem columns and moved it in front of one of the good columns and refreshed the report and they still showed up as Strings.  I have not tried formatting to any other settings such as general, currency or custom but will.
