  Who knows if they are, but it's generally courteous to ship data to an external party in a fairly universal format. For tables, it doesn't get much more universal than CSV.

    on the screenshots there are .xlsx (on top) and .csv formats i was commenting about the .xlsx

  Numbers can export in Excel format.
  • gondo 8y ago
    that is an extra step. why would anyone do it? it is more likely that they simply do not use Numbers

  Excel sheets are automatically generated from whichever database they use.

    in that case why not use universal format .csv? why go for both .xslx and .csv?

      I love CSV over XLSX too, but calling it a universal format is dubious if you're even encountered shit-tier CSV output by "Enterprise" tools. Even Excel produces garbage CSV. I wish more people followed RFC4180. And that's how I write all my stuff that supports CSV input or output. But, there's a lot of bad csv software out there.
