"Import from Excel" is a vague problem statement. It's also kind of  
odd that you have a leading space iside the quotes in the example.  
Makes me wonder if you got numbers somehow "factorized" because of non- 
numeric entries in the "csv" file. Why not show the code used to do it  
_and_  str() on the object? Or even better dput from a row with a  
"large number"?
