    Hello,

    I was looking for a long time, but I did not find a solution to my problem, so I am writing here.

    I would like to export data from excel file to txt file and separate each column with comma.
    Specifically, it is about exporting from excel -> txt.

    The data that I want to export from Excel look like the screenshot below.

    I would like it to be written in the .txt file like this:

    1, the text, text, text, text, text ,,,,
    2, text, text, text, text, text ,,,,
    3, text, text, text, text, text ,,,,
    ...


    How can I fix this problem?

    best regards

    Comma separated values are excel file export to cvs format. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSV_(format_pliku)


    Thank you for your answer ;)

    I saved the file in CSV format and opened it via a .txt file, however now the column contents have been separated by a semicolon, not a comma.

    How can I separate them with a comma?

    best regards

    The .csv format uses the list separator declared in the operating system settings. If in the Control Panel in the international settings (region) you change the list separator from a semicolon to a comma, and the decimal separator from a comma to a period (so there is no conflict), then the entry in the .csv format will be with a comma, not with a semicolon.
