CSV (comma separated value) is a format where each item of information is separated from another by a comma. There is a “return” at the end of each record. In this format, data can be imported into almost any other datafile you can name.
First, of course, you need an Excel file, Access, whatever.
Then, you must have the capability of saving to CSV.
Open your file. Select all data. Click File, Save AS.
In the Save As window, look to the bottom for “filetype.”
click the down arrow and see if CSV is listed. If it is, you’re in business. Caution – give it a new name other than the original datafile or it will overwrite and you will lose it.
