# [New Flow] [Resolved] How to resolve Garbled text in export file

Here are the steps to open a CSV file in Excel without character encoding issues.

**Resolved (15 September 2026):** This issue has been fixed — CSV exports no longer show garbled text when opened directly in Excel. The steps below are kept for reference.

Here are the steps to open a CSV file in Excel without character encoding issues.

Launch Excel.

Select \[Blank workbook\] to create a new workbook.

In the new workbook, click the \[Data\] tab on the ribbon menu.

Click \[From Text/CSV\] and select the CSV file you wish to open (the file exported from Flow).

Click \[Import\] or \[Transform Data\].
