Excel распознал как sylk файл
Обновлено: 08.07.2024
Trying to open CSV file that my app had generated kept causing the following message to appear in Excel:
Excel has detected that ‘balhblah.csv’ is an SYLK file, but cannot load it. Either the file has error or it is not a SYLK file format. Click OK to try to open the file in a different format’ , you may also get the message SYLK: File format is not valid
The solution:
After many hours of pulling my hair out trying to work it out I discovered that if you make the first letters “ID” of a text file Excel incorrectly assumes you are trying to open an SYLK file (whatever one of those is!).
Hope that helps!

Still a big help. Keep this alive (Incase you were thinking that no one is using this anymore)
received the error message during import of a custom csv file about 3 minutes ago.
googled it and this article resolved it in less than 60 secs.
thanks.
And there was me thinking it was my programming skills that sucked. Microsoft, as usual. Pfft. Suckers.
Changing ID to lower case id should also fix the problem.
Joel Weiner
We had to change from upper to lowercase to when saving from xlsx to csv. Other wise we would get the error.

That’s useful to know! Thanks

Why do you need ID as the first field? If you are outputting to Excel then you can choose anything as your output format. If you need to then send it on from there it you could then rename it once it is in the system or output it using a macro which renames the first column.
Alternatively make ID the last column? most imports should sort it out for you?

I found another option.no need to change the column heading order title. Just open a new excel and than open the file which you would like to open (SYLK format file), it will open this time.
Hope this works for you guys as well.

Off the top of my head you could try opening it in a proper text editor like Sublime?
