Powerpivot - problem importing simple textfile (metric format)


hi all,

we're having issues in importing data exported microstrategy, text file. flat textfile comes comma 1000 separator : "1,000". 
while importing textfile in powerpivot, noticed no data superior 1000 imported (replaced void value). no value above 1000 present in power pivot.

tried solve issue : changing data type , data format did not help.
temporary bypass worked move 1 of data line (whose value > 1000) top of our extfile. reimporting modified file through "exiting connection -> edit" "refresh", directly visualize line moved @ top present correct value. interestingly enough, rest of data value > 1000 imported.

i hope clear enough!

so our question powerpivot community : did have issue, , there known bug fix, or consistent bypass use?


thank you!
romain.

there similar problem not long ago importing text field. seems powerpivot has undocumented sampling behavior when importing text files. in case text longer arbitrary length being truncated. seems powerpivot samples first several (i not sure how many 'several' is) lines of text file , uses reference importing rest of column, truncating values longer reference.

if create text file max value on first row, should viable workaround you.
