Broken CSV file: How To Fix That?

Sometimes you try to open your CSV file and it looks like this:

excel-problem-evaboot

This is due to the fact that Excel didn't read & understood the file properly in the first place.

How to fix this?



A first quick fix is to open the CSV without manually importing it to Excel.
This means just double click the CSV file from Evaboot & let Excel open it automatically for you.

A second way to fix the issue involves 4 steps:

Download the CSV file from Evaboot
Import it on Google Sheet
Export the imported file from Google Sheet
Open the Google Sheet exported file in Excel

1. Download the CSV and import it on Google Sheet


Click on File > Import

google-sheet-import


Click on "Upload" and choose your CSV

upload-csv-google-sheet``


2. Download file as Excel


Click on File > Download > Excel


download-file-google-sheet

You can now open your .xlsx file with Excel.
