When you save the file in Excel (or another spreadsheet package), if you select Save As, you’ll have an option to select the format. Simple Select Comma Separated Values (.csv) as the format (may also be called Comma Split Values, and that will save a compatible file for you.

There are some requirements on what data needs to be supplied, but full details can be found here:

You shouldn’t need a great understanding of Excel, but a general understanding would help.

Of course, if you hit any problems or need further help, please don’t hesitate to ask
