Yep, I hate that Excel doesn't open CSV files and treat every cell as "Text" considering that's how a CSV stores the data. It loves to convert to scientific notation, or omit leading zeros, or omit trailing zeros on a decimal, or assume something is a date. I always have to update csv files to
.txtinstead and then import it via the wizard and manually select Text for all columns.
