CSV vs Excel
| Feature | CSV | Excel |
|---|---|---|
| File size | Smaller | Slightly larger |
| Formatting | Plain text only | Bold headers, styled columns |
| Hyperlinks | Plain text URLs | Clickable links |
| Compatibility | Universal | Spreadsheet apps |
| Best for | Data processing, imports | Analysis, sharing, reporting |
For maximum compatibility with non-spreadsheet tools (databases, scripts, automation), use CSV export instead. For polished, ready-to-use spreadsheets, Excel is the better choice.
