If you're working someplace that uses Excel, then maybe. Otherwise, it isn't.
Anyway, if more tools, including Excel, properly implemented RFC4180, we'd at least have something.
Another option is some sort of meta-data file alongside a large CSV describing its format somehow - which, if missing, you have to fall back on RFC4180 or your parser's "try to figure out the quirks" mode.
