Disable prompts in Microsoft Excel when saving a CSV file [duplicate]
I have to download multiple csv reports from the Internet throughout the day, make a tiny change to them, and save the change. Excel adds 3 completely unnecessary dialogs to what should really be a 5-second operation.
- It makes you select a file name in a "Save As..." dialog, even though you just want to save the existing file
- It makes you confirm the file name, because it thinks you're overwriting the original file
- It asks you if you really want to save in the CSV format
Is there a way to kill at least one or two of these dialogs, but ideally all of them? This is completely infuriating.
Solution 1:
I have consulted multiple sources, and there is no fix for Microsoft Office.
However, I installed LibreOffice, and it handles CSV files the exactly correct way. I made LibreOffice the default program for opening CSV files, and the problem is now solved.
