Exactly. Unfortunately, double-clicking the file does not trigger that dialogue. You would be surprised how many IT-staffers simply give up at that point („Can I get the raw data?”, „Sure, here is the automatically generated CSV dump.”, „I can't open it…”).
- jandrese 10y agoI can't remember the last time double clicking on a CSV file did the right thing in Excel. I always use the clunky import dialog. Even then it often requires a few tries before I get what I want. For an operation that is done literally millions of times around the world each year, Microsoft seems to pretend that it's some bizarre corner case. I know CSV is a messy format, but you can do better Microsoft. Even a week or two of work on that could make it much much better.
