What Is a CSV File?

 A CSV file is a Comma Separated Values file. All CSV files are plain text files, can contain numbers and letters only, and structure the data contained within them in a tabular, or table, form.

Files ending in the CSV file extension are generally used to exchange data, usually when there's a large amount, between different applications. Database programs, analytical software, and other applications that store massive amounts of information (like contacts and customer data), usually support the CSV format.

A Comma Separated Values file might sometimes be referred to as a Character Separated Values or Comma Delimited file, but regardless of how someone says it, they're talking about the same format.

Spreadsheet software is generally used to open and edit CSV files, such as Excel or the free OpenOffice Calc or WPS Office Spreadsheets. Spreadsheet tools are great for CSV files because the data contained in the file is usually going to be filtered or manipulated in some way.

To view and/or edit your CSV file online, you can use Google Sheets. To do that, visit that page and select the folder icon to browse your computer or Google Drive for the file.

You can also use a text editor to open CSV files, but large ones will be very difficult to work with in these types of programs. If you want to do this, see our favorites in this Best Free Text Editors list.

Like mentioned above, Excel supports CSV files, too, but the program isn't free to use. Even so, it's probably the most commonly used program for CSV files.

How to Convert a CSV File

Since CSV files store information in a text-only form, support for saving the file to another format is included in lots of different online services and downloadable programs.

All the desktop programs mentioned above can convert a CSV file to Excel formats like XLSX and XLS, as well as to TXT, XML, SQL, HTML, ODS, and others. This conversion process is usually done through the File > Save as menu.

You can also use Google Sheets. From the File > Download menu, pick XLSX, ODS, PDF, or any other supported format.

There are also some free file conver

The CSVJSON tool (guess...) converts CSV data to JSON, super helpful if you're importing massive amounts of information from a traditional application into a web-based project.

Important Information on Editing CSV Files

You'll probably only encounter a CSV file when exporting information from one program to a file, and then use that same file to import the data into a different program, especially when dealing with table-oriented applications.

However, you may at times find yourself editing a CSV file, or making one from scratch, in which case the following should be kept in mind:

A common program used to open and edit CSV files is Excel. Something important to understand about using Excel, or any other similar spreadsheet software, is that even though those programs appear to provide support for multiple sheets when you're editing a CSV file, the CSV format does not support "sheets" or "tabs," so data you create in these additional areas won't be written back to the CSV when you save.

For example, let's say you modify data in the first sheet of a document and then save the file to CSV—that data in the first sheet is what will be saved. However, if you switch over to a different sheet and add data there, and then save the file again, it's the information in that recently-edited sheet that will be saved. The data in the first sheet will no longer be accessible after you've shut down the spreadsheet program.

It's really the nature of the spreadsheet software that makes this mishap confusing. Most spreadsheet tools support things like charts, formulas, row styling, images, and other thttp://157.230.37.164/viewtopic.php?t=89342

hings that simply can't be saved under the CSV format.

There's no problem so long as you understand this limitation. This is why other, more advanced table formats exist, like XLSX. In other words, if you want to save any work beyond very basic data changes to a CSV, don't use CSV anymore—save or export to a more advanced format instead.
