Excel to CSV
Export any worksheet to clean, correctly quoted CSV.
Convert .xlsx or .xls to CSV with control over the delimiter, quoting and line endings — the details that decide whether your import script succeeds or throws on row 4,000. UTF-8 with an optional BOM keeps accented characters intact in Excel.

Common problems and fixes
Long numbers like order IDs lose their leading zeros.
Those cells are numeric in the source workbook. Format them as text in Excel first, or enable “Preserve leading zeros” which quotes them on export.
Rows appear duplicated when the CSV is imported elsewhere.
A cell contains a line break that your importer treats as a row break. Switch line ending mode to CRLF and keep quoting enabled.
