CSV
Comma-separated values
CSV is plain text with one table row per line. Every spreadsheet, database and programming language reads it, but it has no formatting, formulas or multiple sheets.
Extensions: .csv
Convert CSV files to XLSX on Windows 10 and 11: free, offline and in batches. Drag the files onto XLSX in Filee's format donut and the XLSX files appear next to the originals.
In File Explorer or on the desktop, select one CSV file or as many as you like.
Hold Ctrl (or the key you set in Filee) and drag the files. A donut of formats opens at the cursor. Prefer menus? Right-click and choose Convert with Filee.
Release the files over XLSX. A progress ring counts up, and each XLSX file is saved next to its original.
An XLSX workbook can hold the formatting, formulas and extra sheets that CSV can't. Select all your CSV exports and drop them at once to get one workbook per file, without Excel's import dialog.
