Import data through Text Import Wizard

Conformity generated CSV report might contain special double-byte characters. Excel cannot display these characters if you open the file directly with Excel. This is an Excel limitation. Microsoft recommends to import file with UTF-8 encoding instead of opening directly. The following steps allow you to import data with UTF-8 encoding so it can display the double-byte characters correctly.

  1. Create a workbook and go to Data tab > From Text to launch the Text Import Wizard.

  2. From Text Import Wizard, select the File origin as: Unicode (UTF-8)

  3. Finish Text Import Wizard. The data from CSV file can be loaded correctly in Excel workbook.
