Calibre Catalog csv Question

Rellwood · 08-01-2017, 06:03 PM

I had a question, and figured out the answer, however this forum doesn't allow users to delete their posts.

I had trouble reading old Calibre catalogs that had the comments in them because of the tabs or commas separating them caused the column demarcations to be off. I have a lot of catalogs with this problem and just deleted them but I accidentally opened on an older computer with an older version of excel and the formatting was fine. However they wouldn't work on my new computer with Microsoft office 10.

I just uploaded the files into Google Sheets and they seemed to be just fine.
