@kragen I've been using R lately, but I'm not sure it's the best general purpose tool.

How is this Excel's fault? Columns can be formatted (data type = Text, for instance) prior to export. Learn, don't call names.

I have to deal with this on a regular basis, except my extra fun part is that I can't download all of the data as a CSV. XLS only.
