Step 4: Open With Excel

To open your CSV file in Excel, simply locate the file on your computer, then double-click on it. Most computers will automatically open CSV files into Excel by default. If yours does not, you can open Excel first, and then go to 'File' > 'Open' and select your downloaded CSV file.
