Load CSV files in Excel

To collect all the information in a way that can easily be matched with other excerpts and registers, the export format from Engage is in .csv. CSV is a fairly common format that is often used for exports from systems.

In short, all columns are "defined" with semicolon (;) in each row. The idea is exactly the same as Excel. Here are some examples:

The following in a CSV file:

Area;Id;FirstName;LastName

Contact;38cf885d-e26d-497c-97d7-a8ce008f5ac7;Apu;Hashim

 

is the equivalent of this in an Excel file:

Area ID FirstName LastName
Contact 38cf885d-e26d-497c-97d7-a8ce008f5ac7 Apu Hashim

In most cases, it is possible to double-click the CSV file and it is correctly loaded in Excel. However, there are cases where this does not work. Therefore, we recommend that you always do the following:

 

MacOS

Go to File > Open in Excel and then go to the folder you have downloaded the file to. Open the file in Excel.

Opening file on macOS

Then select how the file should be loaded with the formatting into the CSV file. "File Source" should always be Unicode (UTF-8).

Settings for Unicode UTF-8
Select a semicolon as delimiter
Finish

Done!

 

Windows

The principle is exactly the same as MacOS but in Windows, Excel is often, by default, set to look only for * .xls - / * .xlsx files. In order for Excel to find a file with a different extension, you only have to choose that Excel should display all files.

Go to File > Open in Excel and then go to the folder you have downloaded the file to. In order to open the CSV file, you may need to search All Files.

Search All Files and open the file in Excel

Open the CSV file by clicking on it. Then follow the same steps as for MacOS!
