How to prevent exported phone numbers from converting into garbage?

I'm trying to export a list of segment members into Excel. Whether I export them as .csv or .xls format, when I open them in Excel, the numbers display in "number" format - i.e. they've been converted to values like 3.58295E+11. If I try to convert the number format in Excel into "text," it doesn't change the number back to its original value. Is there a way to stop this conversion from happening in the first place?

Not sure if this is the correct answer but I have a workaround. I load the segment into a campaign and choose add to shared list. If you do not have a blank list just create one to load the contacts into- run the campaign and you should have a properly formatted list without the number issue. I am guessing the list you exported has additional data appended that is making it format strange. Hope that helps- has worked for me in the past.

  • HT1349 just got a new iphone. How do you transfer phone numbers from an old iphone to a new one

    How do you transfer phone numbers from a 3gs to a 4s?

    PLug your 3gs into iTunes, in the left panel right click on your iPhone and create a backup. After the back up is complete plug your 4s into iTunes, right click on it in the left panel and select restore from backup, select the backup file from your 3gs and that should load everything from your 3gs to your new iphone

  • How do i display phone numbers from Contacts in large type?

    The phone numbers displayed in Contacts are difficult to read for old eyes.  How do I display them in a large font size so I can read them without glasses?  Is there a setting or an alternate app that can do that?

    The only thing that I know of is Settings -> General ->Accessability -> Zoom
    With that on, when you tap the screen twice using 3 fingers, the whole screen zooms.  I've tried the "Large Text" feature, but it does nothing to the phone numbers in contacts, just the text portions.

  • Transfer phone numbers from iphone 3gs to iphone 4s?

    How can I transfer phone numbers from iphone 3gs to iphone 4s?

    I recently upgraded from 3GS to 4S
    I used mobile me for yers so i trustef this would work -
    Ensure that everything is uptodate on the 3GS
    sign in to icloud in the settings on the 3GS and ensure you are syncing contacts (calendars etc also but as you are only querying phone numbers you only seem interested in contacts)
    use the same Apple ID on the 4s when you initially turn it on to set it up (this is what i did, icloud downloaded everything including my settings and what apps were in which folders and where)
    If your 4s is already set up ensure the same apple id is used in the icloud settings.
    Or you could go back to the pc and sync the 3gs one last time, then when setting up the 4s and it asks whether you want to set it up as a new phone or from a back up choose backup from itunes and then plug it in and select the 3gs backup from itunes to install

  • Export my audio from iPod into organized folders with menaninful filenames

    Hello,
    I want to "export" my audio from the iPod to my hard drive. A mere copy-and-paste (or drag-and-drop) will not do because on my iPod, the music is scattered in special folders and have special names, thanks to iPod's special way of syncing. How can I export my stuff from iPod into nice human-workable folders and filenames, just as things were when I synced audio from my hard drive to the iPod?
    If you could recommend FREE software, I'd appreciate it.

    Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
    (and I'm assuming here that "other OS" means Windows)

  • How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

    How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

    Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
    1) Open iMovie
    2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
    3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
    4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
    5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
    6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
    7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

  • How do I back up phone numbers from Nokia 6350 bef...

    I got so tired of my buggy Nokia 6350 that I went to my service provider's website (AT&T) and bought an iPhone 3GS. When it arrived I read the instructions, found some confusing directions there and am in the process of asking for clarifications in the AT&T discussion forum.
    The reason I'm posting here is that my brother, who works at a cell phone call center, advised me to back up all my phone numbers from the Nokia before attempting this flip phone to smart phone transition. I have a USB cord that connects the Nokia to my PC, but Windows XP tries to "install the new hardware" and looks for a CD. I never got a CD with the Nokia. And I can't use the Ovi suite because -- just my luck -- the 6350 is one of the minority of phones not compatible with the Ovi suite.
    How do I back up all phone numbers before I attempt to copy them to the iPhone 3GS?  I'm very frustrated..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Download the pc suite instead of ovi suite. U'll find it under the support page of ur phone on Nokia's site
    Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

  • HT1296 How can I stop and delete facebook names and phone numbers from my iphone

    How can I stop facebook names and phone numbers from being downloaded to my iphone and how can I delete the ones that are already there?

    A better way might be
    Settings > Facebook > Contacts > turn off.
    There are other Facebook settings you might want to leave on. But I also prefer to turn off Calendar there as well to keep every Facebook friends birthday from clogging up my calendar app.

  • How do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to IPhone 4S

    how do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to my new IPhone 4S?

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, or over the air with an email account that supports it. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair by being dropped, etc.
    If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, you select the same under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
    If you are syncing contacts over the air with an email account that supports it, create the account with the Mail app on your new iPhone and turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
    Contacts are included with the iPhone's backup. If your iPhone is being backed up with iTunes on your computer, the first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on a computer being synced with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.
