Opening CSV exports in Excel

This page covers how to open CSV exports into Excel.

Set Excel as the default program

While CSV files are usually automatically opened in Excel by default, this may not always be the case. Refer to the Windows and Apple troubleshooting articles for steps to set Excel as your default program.

Converting CSV to XLSX or XLS

To convert a CSV to XLSX or XLS, or get rid of the comma between data values, refer to this guide for importing CSVs into Excel.

Leading zeroes stripped from user IDs

You may sometimes find that leading zeroes are stripped from user IDs in your CSV export. This happens because Excel treats the numbers in a CSV as data instead of text. To resolve this, run the Excel Text Import Wizard.
