> Hopefully it won't take another 35 years for them to fix CSV opening so it doesn't auto-format long numbers into scientific notion or dates, then cause unrecoverable data loss when you save. This has been a major issue when working with Australian address data, where the street number was quite often a range e.g. "1-12". Excel would auto-convert to "12-Jan" upon opening the file, and save it as that if you clicked save, and there was no workaround I could find. I eventually told the tester to use Libre Office Calc instead.
