Problem to paste continuuos numbers from JMP to Excel

[#1]

Dear JMP-Experts,

I have measured continuous datasets and when I export them from excel to JMP (either by the JMP macro or by copy paste) they appear only as ordinal or nominal but not as continuous. How do I fix this problem. I uploaded the excel sheet as well as the JMP sheet below.

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

They appear nominal because you have character values in the columns ("--"). You should be able to change data type to Numeric and modeling type to Continuous. "--" values will then be replaced with missing values
