Generally I have installed with windows XP , when I download and open the
files with extension .csv, all the data gets opened in column A itself, even though delimeter is specified. But this works perfectly fine when I select "Save As" option it has selected "csv". In fact, if I proceed with that and save as csv, and then open the saved file, Excel works just fine! What must be problem while opening the file in .csv Please do suggest as soon as possible |

Hi,
I think your current selecion is just a cell before downloading. Select all columns by clicking the left corner and then try downloading again. This will display all the data as stored in the CSV file.

If you open the original file in Notepad, what delimiter does it have?
If you open your csv (as saved from Excel) in Notepad, what delimiter does that have? What delimiter is specified in Windows/ Regional Options? What happens if you rename your original csv as .txt, and try to import to Excel that way? -- David Biddulph "Kalaiselvi" wrote in message ...
