How to Convert an Excel List to a Comma Delimited List

Excel documents contain lists of information organized into spreadsheets. Although Excel's default file format is the proprietary XLS system, you can use a standard comma separated value (CSV) format with the "Save As" feature built into the program.

Instructions

1. Open your Excel list or document.

2. Click the Microsoft Office logo button in the upper-left corner of the screen, then click "Save As."

3. Select "CSV (Comma Delimited)" as the file type.

4. Select the directory that you want to save the file to from the list of options.

5. Type a file name and click "Save" to save your document.
