I used Python to generate a CSV file. But when I open it in Excel, Excel will auto recognize a string into a number if it could be converted.
e.g.33E105 becomes 33*10^105, which is actually an ID, not a number.
How to disable this in Excel while opening a CSV file? Or I need to resort to a excel-python library to output a excel file and specify the format myself?
I also found a similar question without good answers on the web.
Thanks!
To write actual
.xlsfiles in Python, rather than.csvones that Excel might misinterpret, you can use the xlwt third-party Python package.
