Well, I'd not call it a bug in Excel: it simply does more work, and attempts to
create a number formatting that would represent the converted number as it was
represented in CSV. So seeing that a value string had thousand separators, it
applies a number format with thousand separators to the cell after the
import... :-) That is likely to result in very inconsistently formatted cells
throughout the file, but OTOH it keeps visual representation ... both ways have
upsides and downsides.</pre>
