st: Import Excel: last for columns ignored

Dear Colleagues,
I am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into Stata 12.1. The spreadsheet has 22 columns (A-V) and 438 rows. When I try to import, the default cell range is A1:Q438 and when I try to change the "Q" to a "V" it tells me: "The right column is out of range. Choose a value between A and Q inclusive."
I was able to work around this by saving the spreadsheet as a CSV, but that is not a great solution because all of the date/time variables are input as strings. Are there settings in Excel or Stata might cause this to happen? I thought I remembered a question like this previously on Statalist, but I couldn't find anything online.
Thanks,
Joe Canner
