Does anybody knows how to disable this "feature" - every time I open csv file
I get it opened with text to columns sorted, the problem is that this does data format check while opening and does not allow to change format of cells.. I found one workaround - to import data to blank sheet but this is annoyinig and time consumptive (I have to open a lot of csv files every day). Does anybody knows how to disable it? I would be happy if I could just open ths csv file and have data unsorted, in one cell delimited with semicolon.. I've performed some diig for answer through the websites - changing file extension does not help, neither opening it with shift pressed, I do not have KB943985 installed and hotfix for that does not solve this issue.. Please help me cause now I am running out of new ideas how to get rid of this annoying thing. Thank you all in advance |

Try to rename *.csv files to *.txt before opening. Excel considers .csv files
as "native" Excel format and run its sometimes unwanted converting feature. In case of txt files the OpenTxt wizard comes up and you can switch off converting.
