[Dx4win] Import Excel file

Hi all

I am running into a major problem trying to import an Excel file.
Actually, I just got an excel file of FB8ZP's log dating back 1983,
which I will probably upload to LoTW. 
I have been working first on the excel file itself, and have already
solved some problems.
I had to change ALL frequencies, indicated in the log as 14,213 for
example to substitute 20m instead. That is solved.
I then exported the file into a .prn file.
When I import the file, after creating a new filter, ALL bands are wrong
and I get an error message. They are all listed as 20m, and the error
message gives me the right band, even if it is correct. Band is imported
as 20m and the error message says "Error:Band=20", which means the band
is really 20m !
As soon as there is a / in the callsign, I loose the first letter(s) of
the call once the file is imported.
The original excel file lists the name of the station worked : how can I
get it saved in the destination file ?

I am using DX4win v 7.05.04 and Excel version is 2002.
Any help please ?
Thanks + 73
