If you have weird symbols and letters when you open a CSV export file in Microsoft Excel 2007, it is probably due to your Excel settings.

Our CSV export files are encoded in UTF-8.

To open a CSV export file follow these steps:

  1. Open Microsoft Excel 2007

  2. Click on the "Data" menu

  3. Click on "From Text/CSV"

  4. Navigate to the location of the file that you want to import on your computer. Click on the filename and then click on the Import button.

  5. Choose « 65001: Unicode (UTF-8) » from the "File Origin" drop-down 

  6. Click on the "Load" button
