I believe this is just an Excel visual display, not an actual conversion of the content....

 

See https://superuser.com/questions/65556/excel-displays-for-long-text-whats-wrong

 

 

Can you open your raw data feed into a text editor? Notepad, Notepad++, TextEdit, etc

 

You should see the data as it actually is...

Oh I get that, Excel is the tool for manipulating data, but you may have to try changing the data formatting to Text or General (to get it back), or as @Ankit_Chaudhary suggested, try and prevent Excel from converting the formatting to start with.

During initial load excel ask to convert field type simply select don't convert any you might prevent this.
