Cross Table to List Error with Numbers as Text

First of all the Cross Table to List function is GREAT!  And saved me TONS of time!  and I purchased my license right away because of the obvious value.

BUT one of the very important uses I have for this function is working with an Excel table that has numbers as labels for the first column (eg. the cell contains '007133060149).  When I perform the cross table to list function, the values in the CrossTab Column Headers column convert to actual number values (eg. 7133060149).

What should I be doing to preserve the numbers as text and not convert to actual values?

Thanks again for the great and VERY USEFUL function!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Can you append some random texts, for example, append "FDFDDF" to each cell in the source data (for append, see http://www.digdb.com/excel_add_ins/append_column_before_after/), then do the operation. After the operation, use Excel's Replace to replace "FDFDDF" by ' (tick). This will keep the 0013213 format.
