How do I use a query to add data not imported once I change data type

I am importing a ton of data from Excel into Access. It is working quite seamlessly, until I have encountered 9 digit and foreign postal codes. Then it wants to change the type to number instead of text and will only import the 5 digit codes. Is there a way to use a query to automatically update those fields that are left empty after the import once I change the type back to text?
 
is that a really dumb question so nobody wants to answer? copy and paste won't work, it says File sharing lock count exceeded
