Someone I know has an Excel file containing a simple format (see
below) and has a problem importing it into Project:

However, I can import that same file just fine with the exact same
import settings, performing the same steps he does. We have the same
version of Project.
Here's where the process on his PC and my PC diverges: At the step to
identify the data to import, I select the worksheet, which lists the
correct title ("Sheet1"). The fields listed in the first column are
shown correctly.
However, at that same step, his option for the worksheets shows the
name "S", and then it appears that the Excel row numbers are listed in
lieu of the correct field names from the first column of the
spreadsheet.
Anyone ever seen a problem like this?
Thanks, Alan
