Which tools do you use for CSV files?

Hello everyone,

I currently have more to do with SuccessFactors HCM than I would like.
Anyway, I have noticed that you have to deal with a lot of CSV files and the separators and date / time formatting is very limited.

So a CSV file from SuccessFactors HCM always uses a comma, if another separator is possible, then this is very rare.
The other is the date / time, here the system is a little more flexible but there are also components that only know MM/DD/YYYY.

Well I work in Europe and the date format MM/DD/YYYYY and the comma separator isn't common for people and MS tools here.
So MS Excel can't be used.

So I wanted to ask around, which tools do you use to edit and view these CSV files?
I explicitly do not want to use MS Excel, as this type of CSV file cannot be handled without technical knowledge

Thanks for your input 😄

Greetings
Andy

Hi,

You can use OpenOffice Calc, which is a free tool and works very well with CSV files.

OK. Thank you.

When I'm in a large company, it's usually not so easy to roll out another Office suite alongside MS Office. The IT department doesn't see the added value of going to such great expense here.

So the recommendation from consultants and SAP is currently not satisfactory for me as a customer.
