Empty strings ("") gets imported as number 0

[jhk115]

When we import empty strings, the importer imports the value as a number type 0. Any workarounds for this besides leaving out the field completely?

I was importing lots of data and only experienced this issue with about 200 or so records out of 15,000. I have no idea why these records' empty strings are being imported as 0.
