CSV File Information

• What Is A CSV File - A CSV, or Comma-Separated Values file, lets you save data in a table format. It looks like a regular spreadsheet, but the file ends with .csv. The data is stored as text, with each piece of information separated by commas.
• Where Can I Use CSV Files - You can open a CSV file in almost any program, but it might not always look organized. Most people find it easier to view CSV files in a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, or Google Docs.
