How to save a spreadsheet as a CSV file

First, you might be wondering what a CSV file is: 

A CSV file is a comma-separated values file used to easily save and transfer data in a standard format. CSV files look like simple spreadsheets and when saved, add a .csv extension to the document title. For example: Example.csv

Spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel, Open Office Calc and Google Sheets allow you to create and export a table as a CSV file.

Excel

Click Save as and in the File format menu, choose CSV (Comma Delimited) .csv.

Google Sheets

Click Download under the File dropdown and choose Comma-separated values (.csv) as the file format.

Please contact your software provider for other programs and more detailed instructions.
