My guess is that the values in your excel file do not actually contain string values like cts and pcs, but that those are only formatting. If that's the case then you will have to change the values in excel to add the cts and pcs strings.

Try this:

=trim(right('62300.800 cts',Len('62300.800 cts') - Index('62300.800 cts',' ')))

substitute '62300.800 cts' with your Field Name

the above can be done in Qv in your load statement

Load *,

trim(right(Quantity,Len(Quantity) - Index(Quantity,' '))) As Measure

I agree with Gysbert, the units might be part of the formatting rather than the value itself which might be causing this issue. Can you share your Excel file to look at it?
