- 1). Open your spreadsheet or database program. If you do not have one, there is a link for a free trial of Microsoft Office below, which contains both types of programs.
- 2). Populate a blank document with the data that you want to convert to CSV. If you have already created a document, open it and skip to Step 3.
- 3). Click once on the file drop-down menu and select the "Save As" option. This will generate a separate pop-up window.
- 4). Choose the "CSV," "Comma Delimited" or "Text and Commas" option using the "Save as type" drop-down menu. Name the file by typing into the "File name" field. Choose a folder in which to save the CSV version of the data using the "Save in" drop-down menu. It is important to remember the folder name, as you will need it to export the CSV file. Click once on the "Save" button.
- 5). Click once on the Windows Start button, and click once on the folder in which you saved the CSV file to view it. This file can now be used to export to other programs or attached to an email to send to others.
