Excel documents downloading as CSV

During the past week, I downloaded some files from websites using Firefox. (i.e., a list of bank account info & list of insurance claims)
For some reason, they have started saving as csv documents instead of Excel. They open in Excel but when I try to save, I receive this error message:
file name.csv may contain features that are not compatible with CSV (comma delineated). Do you want to keep the workbook in this format?
Regardless of what option I choose, the information will not save in Excel.
Is there a way to make these files download as an Excel document instead of .csv? Under Options, .csv doesn't show up in Applications File Type.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

The file type that downloads is controlled by the server?
However there are a number of third party sites that can convert a csv to an exel file type (google drive Import csv, then save as excel and [https://support.office.com/en-za/article/Import-or-export-text-txt-or-csv-files-5250ac4c-663c-47ce-937b-339e391393ba office] ) but it varies with formatting as well.

How do I download or copy my saved sites, usernames and passwords to an Excel document? (I also need to download or copy my bookmarks)

I need to put all password info and my bookmarks in Excel documents for my private drive without typing each one into the document. The only method I've found so far is Alt-Print Screen then Ctl-V. This only copies the information as a picture and leaves me a lot of work typing everything into a document. Life is too short......Please Help!

This extension will export password data to a CSV file type, which as I recall can be imported into Excel.
See this for exporting bookmarks into the HTML file format.

EXCEL document's book size format after downloading from SAP

Dear forumers,
we have developed a user report in ABAP, this report downloads table containing data into Excel. The problem is that the downloaded table is wide and the page format in Excel-document is broad size as default. We need the system to download the table into Excel in book size format by default. How to make it automatically?
To do it every time manually takes time. At the moment we have to go to File -- Parameters -- Page Orientation -- pick Book size, and put the Scale 90%. After that table in Excel fits a book size page.

Downloading a .csv file as excel sheet

hi,
does anyone know how to ensure that when downloading a csv file, it will be opened with excel only. The browser is downloading it as a text file and not excel. how can this be prevented.
please let me know if you have any ideas since i've been pondering over it for far too long and need help...
thanks
jeena

Yes, you need to set the content type to "application/vnd.ms-excel". Of course there is no guarantee that your clients will interpret that to mean "Open with Excel", or that they will even have Excel installed on their system, but there's not much you can do about that.

Buy iWork, Apples office suite, less compatible but excellent.

Word and Excel documents name changed after download?

Hi everyone, I have upgraded my Macbook Pro 17 (2010) to latest Mac OS X 10.8, everything seemed to be ok. Later, I noticed that every time I download my Word or Excel documents and save on my desktop, the names of files which are in russian, change to hieroglyphs. Any other files with russian names are saved properly. So I have to rename the files I have downloaded, and if I rename the file with russian, it's ok. What is faulty with my Mac?

More likely "do not know".
As asked before: How exactly are you downloading these docs?
If you are using Mail, have you tried webmail instead, or a different browser?

How to download a csv/excel file stored in a server using OA Framwork

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we have to generate a CSV file using PL/SQL block and the user shoul download that csv file to his client machine whenever it requirs to him. We have generated csv file and save the same in a particular location in the server. As the CSV file size may be around 10 to 15 MB we feel the storing and retrieving of the csv file in a BLOB object is a performance hit. Now we want to dowload the file from the csv file path without storing the csv file into database BLOB object.
Is this possible using OA framwork? if so please guide me how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sathesh.

If u know following details you can use below method to download any file ( XLS/any) its generic method I have used in one of my project-
1. File Name with Extension
2. File path at which it has been placed
3. Page Context (you must know i assume)
public void DownloadFileFromServer(OAPageContext pgeContext, String file_name_with_path,
String file_name_with_ext)
System.out.println("Filename path "+file_name_with_path + "File Name:" + file_name_with_ext);
HttpServletResponse responseVar = (HttpServletResponse)pageContext.getRenderingContext().getServletResponse();
if (((file_name_with_path == null) || ("".equals(file_name_with_path))))
System.out.println("File path is invalid.");
File fileToDwnld = null;
try
fileToDwnld = new File(file_name_with_path);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Invalid File Path or file does not exist.");
if (!fileToDwnld.exists())
System.out.println("File does not exist.");
if (!fileToDwnld.canRead())
System.out.println("Not Able to read the file.");
String MADfileType = getMADMimeType(file_name_with_ext);
System.out.println("File Type - " + MADfileType);
responseVar.setContentType(MADfileType);
responseVar.setContentLength((int)fileToDwnld.length());
System.out.println("File Size is " + fileToDwnld.length());
responseVar.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + file_name_with_ext + "\"");
InputStream inStr = null;
ServletOutputStream outStr = null;
try
outStr = responseVar.getOutputStream();
inStr = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileToDwnld));
int ch;
while ((ch = inStr.read()) != -1)
outStr.write(ch);
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
finally
try
outStr.flush();
outStr.close();
if (inStr != null)
inStr.close();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();

MS Excel document as attachment to a PDF document does not open with a hot spot/link in the PDF

Hi, I have attached an excel file to a pdf document. I need to open this document in a new window by clicking an icon/hotspot in the pdf document to which it it attached.
I am using the Link Tool to create a hot spot around the icon in the pdf. In the next window I am using the Go to Page view option, opening the attachment to its first page and clicking the "set link" button.
For some reason, clicking the hotspot does not open the excel document as it does another pdf document.
Need help resolving this issue with attached documents.

Select a particular download file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section choose the desired default application from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button.
For .dmg files use DiskImageMounter (System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.)
For .zip files use Archiver - same folder as above - or download TheArchiver - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

Time out when trying to open Word/Excel document from portal

Several of our users have been timing out when trying to open/download documents stored in our portal.
The error message is "Download failed. Connection to server was reset."
Is there some obvious setting that I am missing here?
It happens with things as small as 200K - Word and Excel documents.
thanks!!

How do I convert an exported excel document to numbers? I am able to get the data into numbers but I can't read it.

I am trying to get an excel document I exported from Wufoo into numbers on my mac. It works but I cannot read the data.

I got it to work!! Just had to select Commas (.csv) instead of excel for the export. What happened before was that I chose .xls to export the data and when I tried to open the file in Numbers, it showed an error.
Import Warning - This is a tab delimited document, not a valid Excel document. The data might look different.
the data was all symbols etc..
Thanks for replying to my question!

How do I convert an excel (2008) document to Numbers? When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid"

How can I convert an Excel (2008) document to Numbers. When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid.

That extension identifies the most current Excel file format, a format that can be opened by Numbers '09 (and by Numbers '08).
A check with Numbers '09 shows it capable of opening .xlsx files when right-clicked (and Numbers chose as the application to open, when double-clicked (if Numbers has been set as the default application to open this type of file, or when dragged to the Numbers icon in the dock.
I see two possibilities for Numbers inability to open it and the message you receive:
1. The file is not actually an Excel file, and the sender has added the .xlsx extension to the filename manually.
2. The file is an Excel file, but has somehow been corrupted.
Have you tried opening the file with a different application? The open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and NeoOffice can also open .xlsx files. If they're unable to open this one, that would point toward the file itself being faulty. You can download these applications from their rspective websites, linked in the names above. All request a donation to support future development, but only Neo requires one to have been made recently, and that only for the current release (which won't be necessary to open .xlsx files).
