I'm using Microsoft Office Excel/ WPS Number  software to open a CSV file, but there are scrambled  characters in it/ long number displayed in scientific  notation/ 0 before text format number got  removed,what should I do?
  1. Disadvantages when using Microsoft Excel
    • Special characters cannot be shown correctly
      eg, Germany letter ä will be scrambled in excel
    • Long numbers displayed in scientific notation  
      eg, 6230000000000 being displayed as 6.23E+12
    • 0 before text format number got removed  
      eg, New Jersey has a zip code of 08201，Microsoft excel tends to remove the "0" in the front automatically, and makes it a useless number "8201"
  2. How to open and edit csv file correctly
    • Download and install Apache OpenOffice set/ LibreOffice set
      Please go to the official website to download and install
      https://www.openoffice.org/download/
      https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/
    • Use OpenOffice Calc/ LibreOffice Calc to csv file 
      Right click on the csv file, select "open file" section, select "OpenOffice Calc" 

      Every time OpenOffice Calc/ LibreOffice Calc opens a csv file, it will ask how you want to process the csv file, if the csv file is downloaded from SoldEazy, please use the settings like below

    • Set OpenOffice Calc/ LibreOffice Calc as default software to open a csv file
      Right click on csv file, choose "open file" section, then choose "other softwares"

      Select "OpenOffice Calc"/ "LibreOffice Calc" as the software used to open file and check the "open all .csv files with this program" and confirm
