What's the difference between "CSV-File (.csv)" and "Microsoft Excel-CSV-File (.csv)"?
Hi,
I have noticed that a .csv file opens differently on my two machines.
On machine A) the opened file displays everything in separate columns:
On machine B) the opened file displays everything in the same column:
I can't figure out why that is.
The Windows and Office versions on both machines are identical.
Windows: 1709 (Build 16299.431)
Office: 1802 (Build 9029.2253 CTR)
I noticed that the file icon is different on both machines.
Machine A):
Machine B):
Moreover, I file type (Dateityp) seems to be different (please don't mind the German):
Machine A) says "CSV-Datei":
Machine B) says "Microsoft Excel-CSV-Datei":
Furthermore, I opened the file in Excel Online and it opens like on Machine B).
One more thing I did is use PowerShell Get-Service | Export-Csv "C:\users\[xxx]".
I would expect each property to show in it's own column. It does that on machine A) but not on B).
I have attached the file for you to test it.
Ideally I would like the file to opened on every machine as it does on A).
Thanks in advance for your help.
