I am preparing to do something similar, so I read your post with interest.
I think that the excel cells that only contain alpha characters will have to
have quote marks added in excel. I am thinking of writing a macro to check
my string columns and add quotes if necessary. The resulting csv file will
have triple quotes around the alpha-only entries, ex: """B""". This is a
standard format, but I am checking that mysql will be able to read it correctly.
