Do you use General format for that field on third step of the wizard?
- RikukeCopper ContributorTo clarify a bit (as i myself came here looking for answers to the issue); when using the 'Text to columns' tool you have 3 steps.
On the 3rd step, which i personally usually skip, you can choose the output format of each column.
If you pick 'text' (instead of 'general') format for the column with the #field error, the error doesn't occur.
I hope this helps. 🙂
