# How to get the column color when column cells have different colors?
10+
11+
According to Microsoft Excel behavior, when a column's cells have different fill colors, the column color property returns an empty value. Syncfusion XlsIO mirrors this behavior, as Excel doesn't set a unified column color in such cases. This can lead to issues when trying to retrieve color using column cell style properties.
12+
The following code example illustrates how to get the column color when column cells have different colors in an Excel document.

title: Preserve leading zeros when importing data to Excel | Syncfusion

# How to preserve leading zeros when importing DataTable to Excel?
10+
11+
Excel often treats numeric-looking text as numbers, removing leading zeros. The same behavior is followed when importing DataTable to Excel by the Syncfusion .NET Excel (XlsIO) library. The leading zeros can be preserved by providing the parameter "PreserveDataTypes" in the ImportDataTable method as "True" when importing the data.
12+
13+
The following code snippet shows how to use the PreserveDataTypes option in XlsIO.
