Inconsistent merge results

S

Suzanne

I am retrieving data from an Excel spreadsheet where the column is formatted
"General" (I've also tried formatting as "Text")

The data in this column are variations of room numbers (e.g., B-13, 121,
140-A)

When performing the merge, some room numbers showed up as "0" (zero)

There is no identifiable condition/trend that would make some rooms "0"
(i.e., a "0" may/may not follow another room expressed properly and/or the
same room number). Actual merged data with correct Excel data:
