CSV File Format
CSV stands for Comma Separated Values, sometimes also called Comma Delimited. A CSV
file is a specially formatted plain text file which stores basic database-style information
in a very simple format, with one record on each line, and each field within that record is
encapsulated by quotes and separated by a comma. A sample is below:
"0", "0", "Payer Name", ....
Creating a CSV file from spreadsheet data is very simple to do using Microsoft Excel.
- Open your spreadsheet document and go to the File pull-down menu and choose Save As....
- Change the "Save as type" or "Format" field to read: "CSV (Comma delimited)".
- Enter a name for the document and click Save.
- To check the validity of your CSV file, open the new file from a plain-text reading program such as Notepad.
