In order to import in Excel 365 and earlier versions a CSV file that uses UTF-8 encoding, you have to follow these steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Open Microsoft Excel,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Go to Data >> Get External Data >> From Text<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Go to the location of the CSV file<\/a>, that you want to import.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Choose Delimited,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Set the character encoding to 65001: Unicode (UTF-8) from the dropdown list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Check My data has headers<\/strong>. You have to use it because the first row of CSV file<\/a> has column names.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Click next to display the second step of the Text Import Wizard<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Because our data is separated by commas, set the delimiter<\/a> to a comma.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Click next to move to the third step.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Select the General<\/strong> column and click Advanced\u2026<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Because we have big numbers in our example, we will set a thousand<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Click OK and then Finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Keep the default values inside the Import Data<\/strong> window and click OK.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. This is the result.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Now, you can save the file<\/a> as an Excel document.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
