- IanCal 2y agoClients don't particularly make the distinction, and in a way nor should they - they can't open your file.
- pasc1878 2y agoYes but in practice CSV is defined by what Excel does. As there is no standard to which Excel conforms as it predates standards and there would be an outcry if Excel started rejecting files that had worked for years.
- imtringued 2y agoThere is a common misconception here. You can import CSV files into an excel sheet. You cannot open a CSV file with excel. That is a nonsense operation.
- melagonster 2y agoExcel do not ask the user whether they want to import file, and tell user their file was broken.
