Parsing data from an Excel file

When using readexcelsheet() to parse data from an excel spreadsheet we're experiencing a strange issue. We notice that ".0" is automatically added to text that is numeric. For example, "2290" is parsed as "2290.0" in Appian.
The data is copy pasted as values. The formatting of the cell is set to Text.
Has anyone experienced this issue? If so, do you have a workaround?

No luck with that either. Tried cell format as general, text, custom, number.
Try readexcelsheet(ri!attachedDoc, 0,2,1) for the attached doc to recreate the issue. You'll notice that 222960 is parsed as 222960.0. If you manually click on the cell before parsing, it addresses the issue, but that isn't quite a feasible approach.
