Default how can I format a .csv file from external data?

I am trying to format a worksheet to look the way it is most useful to me. I
am dealing with different classes of mail. On a daily basis this .csv data is
exported to our office computer but the format leaves something to be
desired. To give you an idea of the format I have a column for my different
accounts, a column for class of mail, and a column for the total amount of
postage charged for each instance. The report lists the accounts in order of
postage charged (i.e. first account to be charged , second and so on). This
is fine, the problem column is the class column I want to have separate
columns for each class of mail so I can total separate classes independently.
Right now after the the data is exported to our office computer if you open
it it opens into a sheet that we have to do 15-20 minutes of work on so we
can get our daily totals for each class. Is this something I can change with
Excel or does the dat have to be formatted differently before it arrives? If
anybody could help me I would appreciate it we just got a new $35,00 mail
machine that was supposed to make our life easier that has not lived up to
our expectations yet. If need be I could supply some of the raw data for a
sample.
