Symbols change when I open an exported report as CSV

Why symbols can change when converting an Excel export to CSV, and how to avoid it.


Reports are typically exported as Excel files.
If you open the Excel file directly as CSV, some symbols may change or disappear.
Example: % → becomes just a number


Converting the Excel file to CSV properly preserves the original symbols.

  2. Select [File] → [Save As].

  3. In the [Save As] dialog, choose "CSV (Comma delimited)" from the [File Type] list.
