what they said.............. :-)
actually I use CSV files a lot as they are easily generated by certain UNIX applications and can be opened in excel, and then saved as excel files (.xls).
They are primarily used to produce spreadsheet information from raw data held in other applications.

Yes and no. A .csv is a comma seperated value file, which can be opened in Excel. Excel files are workbooks saved as .xls. Some other non-Microsoft programs might not be able to open .xls, but most spreadsheet programs as well as some database programs will open .cvs files.

It's a way of describing a table of information, separating the fields with commas and the rows with returns. Excel can read and process .csv files, but you can only put labels and numbers in the fields, not formulas.

It works for excel yes but there are also a lot of other programs that can read csv files as well.

It is a 'comma separated value' file. It is essentially a data file (table or spreadsheet) that is stored as a text file, with a comma between each of the field. It is useful for transfering records or databases between different software, such as outlook addressbook and excel worksheet.

confident, in case you have Excel that's extremely undemanding, merely handle it as in case you have been doing a classic Excel record then once you return to maintain it, merely use record, save As, and merely substitute the place it says save as variety to "CSV (Comma Delimited)"

Comma separated values. Yes, this can be opened in Excel. Open notepad then open it through notepad, and you will see what it is.
"John", "Smith", "123 Happy Street"
Like that separated by commas, sometimes delimited by quotes.
