    .csv = comma separated values.

    Typically a text file that each field is separated by a comma. Typically used to import into a spreadsheet such as MS Excel or Open Office. By importing into one of these programs, each comma separated field represents a column in the spreadsheet.

    Just to add a bit more on what Kevin said, if you have microsoft excel installed, you can open the csv file directly without doing any imports.

      Ahhh great thanks AUKev and SalmaR. I just did a csv export from Rank Checker, went to excel and changed filename extensions to .txt to locate and opened as a csv. No importing necessary.

      Thanks for your help

    CSV, comma separated values, files are commonly used to transport large amounts of tabular data between either companies or applications that are not directly connected. The files are easily editable using common spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel.

    Not trying to be a smart ass, but you said you couldn't find anywhere what it is. I'm wondering where, exactly, you looked. --Mike

      I've got a good friend who's been calling lately to ask me questions like this.

      My answer now always starts with "Well, did you "google" it?"

      He's stopped calling.
