krish86 , that's only if change system separator
- open your file(s) you'd like to save as csv
- Win+R and type "control international", click Additional settings
- Change List separator on semicolons and click Apply
- save your Excel files as csv
- Change back List separator on comma and Apply (or Ok)
Sure you may keep your list separator as semicolon, but that could be side effect in different places, better to keep default one for your locale
