The CSV format is a common used file format to store and exchange tabular data.Almost all spreadsheet and database apps (e.g. Excel and Numbers) support it.Unfortunately, not all CSV files are made equal.CSV files use different record delimiters (comma or semicolon), character encodings, decimal separators or quoting styles.

TableTool handles these issues automatically.It detects the specification of a CSV file for you and displays its contents in a table view.Using TableTool is the easy way to create, edit and convert CSV files.

Usage

Open Files:When opening a CSV file, Table Tool detects the format specifications(record delimiter, character encoding, etc.) automatically.You can also set the specifications manually.

Edit Files:Edit the contents of the cells, rows and columns of the document easily in a grid based user interface.

Convert Files:Convert an existing CSV file to a different format.

I regularly convert Excel files to CSV (with comma as the separator) to import into other programs. I have the least amount of MS software on my computers.

Under SAVE AS, XL for Mac gives many choices - divided in 2 GROUPS: COMMON and SPECIALTY. I have no idea the reason or benefit from the 2 groups.

Under COMMON, the CSV choice is UTF-8 and it NEVER works.

Under SPECIALTY, the CSV choice is CSV and it ALWAYS works.

Because I am using comma as the separator, I always do a SEARCH for comma before I convert to CSV to make sure there are NO COMMAS or they are embedded in ' '. I always SAVE the XL as XL right before I convert the TOP page to CSV.

The process ONLY converts the OPEN worksheet (TOP page) in a multi-worksheet workbook. Make sure you have the correct one open / on top.

Once I have SAVED as CSV (under the SPECIALTY group), I close XL.

In closing, XL REMARKS that the workbook is NOT saved and ASKS if I want to save it. I click NO / DON'T SAVE.

XL is 'confused' about SAVING. I have a SAVED XL version from before conversion AND a first page ONLY - SAVED CVS after the conversion. Apparently, the later doesn't 'look' like a 'saved file' as defined by XL? Not to worry. Just EXIT.

The SPECIALTY CSV choice always works to upload the data from XL into websites, email marketing programs, etc.
