Import from Excel - identifying affected cells from document warnings.

Question

My first attempt at importing an Excel workbook produces Import warnings for 24021 cells.
24004 relate to cell formating. Of the remaining errors - 14 are " Unsupported formulas in nn cells were removed from Table"
If these 14 were the only errors, they, would be easy to spot, but mixed it with 24,000 other import errors - how do I work out which cells had unsupported formulas?

I'm seeing that now. I'll admit the format of the spreadsheet will be changing after I get these imported and moving forward.  I should have mentioned this is on an older SQL 2005 server, and am playing around with an Integration Services Project...
Essentially I need to pluck the data in cells A1, C2, A4, C4-E4 and insert those values into an existing SQL table. I've defined my Excel Source. Seeing as the source sheet is a mess and I need to select certain cells (not all are in a neat range like C4-E4...I
have some single cell values I ALSO need to import like A1 & C2) I chose "SQL Command" as my data access mode.
The one thing I can't figure out is how to write a select statement that allows me to select certain cells and a small range of cells. I can select a single value by using: SELECT * FROM [sheet1$A1:A1] OR I can choose a range with the following: SELECT *
FROM [sheet1$C4:E4]...how would I format a select statement that will allow me to pick not only the individual cells but ALSO the ranges I need?
I have tried SELECT...UNION...SELECT but am limited to two select statements and places everything into a single F1 column when I need it in a row view to map with the SQL columns...so each cell I pull has a separate F value so I can properly map the data
to the correct SQL column like the following:
F1    F2   F3   F4    F5  F6   F7
A1   C2   A4    A6   C4   D4   E4
