How to avoid excel automatic data formatting when loading from excel plugin

weerasa — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 22:36:30 GMT

Excel suddenly started automatically formatting data (convert everything to text) when loading from the new Azure Databricks Excel plug-in. I can still see my default formatting in the Databricks sideload. Just wondering if this behaviour was caused by some recent Excel update or Azure Databricks plug-in update.

Hi,

I just checked and this is a known regression from our side, the engineering team are working on a fix as we speak and are aiming to get it out this week.

Apologies for any issues it's causing you.

Thanks,

Emma
