Default saving .csv formated file

If the changes you made to the csv file were adding formulas, changing
formats, adding objects, etc., you will lose those things when you save it as
csv. Is that what you mean by messed up? That's just the nature of csv
files. It's basically text data separated by commas. So if your changes
were anything other than typing in values, you'll lose those changes upon
saving to csv.

I have a .csv formated file that should be modified. After any modfication or
any changes of this file I cannot save it in .csv format. The message come up
saying that the .csv file may contain featires that are not compatible with
csv. If I still save it it being saved as .csv format, but the file is messed
up.
How would I save the file so it would be compatible?
