Importing the CSV file into Excel

If you chose to download it in the Comma separated values (.csv) format, here is some guidance on how to import it into Excel

  1. Open Microsoft Excel
  2. Once in Excel, choose File > Open and navigate to your 'Downloads' folder
  3. You might not see the CSV file immediately. Use the drop-down menu in the bottom-right of the 'Open' window and change the setting to "All Files". The CSV should then appear in the folder menu.
