How to open a CSV file in Excel?

Opening a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file in Excel is quite simple. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Open Excel: Launch Microsoft Excel on your computer.
  2. Go to the 'File' Menu: Click on the 'File' menu located in the top-left corner of the Excel window.
  3. Select 'Open': Choose the 'Open' option from the menu.
  4. Choose the CSV file: Once you've located the CSV file, select it by clicking on it once.
  5. Select 'Open': Click the 'Open' button in the bottom-right corner of the window.
  6. Check Import Wizard (if needed): In some versions of Excel, an Import Wizard may appear. Ensure the settings match your preferences for how the data should be imported (e.g., delimiter settings if the file isn't comma-separated). Then, proceed with the 'Finish' or 'OK' button.
  7. CSV file in Excel: Your CSV file should now be open in Excel, displaying its contents in spreadsheet format.

Remember, if the CSV file uses a delimiter other than a comma (such as semicolon or tab), Excel might not automatically recognize the correct format upon opening. In such cases, the Import Wizard will allow you to specify the delimiter used in the CSV file to properly format the data in Excel.
