CSV files offer a simple and reliable way to record and share database information in a tabular format. They hold plain text as a series of values (cells) in a series of rows.<\/p>\n
The great thing about CSV files is that they\u2019re quick and compact, using less memory than spreadsheets. As a result, they provide a quick and easy way to handle, store, and parse data. They\u2019re versatile too: most applications can open CSV files. So why import CSV to Excel?<\/p>\n
Although CSV is good for storing large amounts of data, once you need to start manipulating, analyzing, and reporting your data, you\u2019ll probably want to move it to a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n
Spreadsheet tools like Excel offer incredible functionalities to effectively organize and optimize your raw data into actionable insights, which you can then use to make important business decisions.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve ever converted a CSV to Excel manually, you\u2019ll know that it can be a cumbersome task. Luckily there\u2019s now a way to do it automatically. Without further ado, let\u2019s explore how to convert CSV to Excel automatically in a few simple steps.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”converting-csv-files-to-excel-format-manually” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
Excel can read CSV files but when you open a CSV directly inside Excel, your data may be imported incorrectly.<\/p>\n
CSV stands for comma-separated values and those commas can prove problematic when Excel tries to read them.<\/p>\n

To solve data loss problems, you may need to manually adjust the settings<\/a> when saving CSV as Excel. If you\u2019re working with an older version of Excel (Office 2010-2016), use the Text Import Wizard<\/a> feature. Those working with a newer version of Excel can import CSV data into Excel using Power Query<\/a>.<\/p>\n This is a good choice if you want to pull CSV data into specific tables, charts, and visual reports inside Excel. To manipulate imported CSV data at an advanced level with Power Query\u2019s M formula language, note that you\u2019ll need a basic knowledge of coding and familiarity with writing queries.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n To import CSV data into Excel with Power Query, you need to:<\/p>\n 1. Download the CSV file to your computer.<\/p>\n 2. Open a blank workbook in Excel and go to Get Data<\/b>. Choose the data source Text\/CSV<\/b>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CSV-to-Excel-1.png” alt=”CSV to Excel 1″ title_text=”CSV to Excel 1″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n 3.

Click Next<\/b>. A preview of your CSV data should load in Excel and look something like this:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CSV-to-Excel-3.png” alt=”CSV to Excel 3″ title_text=”CSV to Excel 3″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n 5.

But if you regularly need to import a bunch of CSVs to Excel, this is extremely time-consuming. You\u2019ll need to repeat the process for each CSV file you want to import. And when the data in the CSV file changes, you\u2019ll need to create a new file version \u2014 again.<\/p>\n The best option is to use an automation tool like Sheetgo to import your CSV files to Excel for you.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Sheetgo is a no-code tool that allows you to link CSV to Excel and import CSV data into spreadsheets automatically. You can import one single file or import CSV files in bulk. Once the connection is created, the system will run automatically.

Sheetgo lets you consolidate up to 80 files in one. It\u2019s a time-saving option as there\u2019s no need to select each source file individually.<\/p>\n On top of that, it automates another stage of your workflow. Whenever you drop a new CSV file into the folder, it will be included in the next update automatically.<\/p>\n 1. Open the Sheetgo web app and create a new workflow.<\/p>\n 2. This time, under the Source<\/b> section, select Files in a folder<\/b>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CSV-to-Excel-20.png” alt=”CSV to Excel 20″ title_text=”CSV to Excel 20″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n 3.

What if you only want to pull specific data from your CSV into Excel? No problem \u2014 just apply a filter.<\/p>\n Note that you can currently only apply a filter to files stored in Google Drive. If you\u2019ve already signed into Sheetgo using your Microsoft details, just log out of Sheetgo and sign in again using your Google account.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n 1. Create a new workflow and connect your source file.<\/p>\n 2. Scroll down to the Process<\/b> section and select Filter<\/b>.
