Troubleshooting CSV downloads

If the CSV file of your exported member list or audit log looks distorted, there are a few ways to fix it:

  • Check the file in a different program: Try opening the file in Excel or a text editor.
  • Check the encoding: Make sure you’re using the right encoding format. CSV files are output in UTF-8, which can cause distortion in Excel.

For Windows users

Try opening the file with Notepad:

  • Right-click the CSV file and select Open with > Notepad.
  • Once in Notepad, select File > Save as.
  • Change the encoding to “UTF-8 with BOM.”
  • Select “Save.”
  • Open the file in Excel.

For Mac users

Try opening the file with TextEdit:

  • Right-click the CSV file and select Open with > TextEdit.
  • Use Command + Shift + S to duplicate the file.
  • Use Command + S to open the save screen.
  • Add “.csv” to the end of the file name.
  • For plain text encoding, elect “Japanese (Shift JIS).”
  • Select “Save.”
  • Open the file in Excel.
