有没有人碰巧知道,如果有一个令牌,我可以添加到我的csv的某个字段,这样Excel就不会试图将它转换为日期?
我试图从我的应用程序中编写一个.csv文件,其中一个值碰巧看起来足够像一个日期,Excel会自动将它从文本转换为日期。我曾尝试将所有文本字段(包括看起来像日期的文本字段)放在双引号内,但没有效果。

在我的案例中,使用R生成的csv文件中的“Sept8”被Excel 2013转换为“8-Sept”。该问题通过使用xlsx包中的write.xlsx2()函数生成xlsx格式的输出文件来解决,该输出文件可以由Excel加载,而无需进行不必要的转换。因此,如果给你一个csv文件,你可以尝试将它加载到R中,并使用write.xlsx2()函数将其转换为xlsx。

I know this is an old question, but the problem is not going away soon. CSV files are easy to generate from most programming languages, rather small, human-readable in a crunch with a plain text editor, and ubiquitous. The problem is not only with dates in text fields, but anything numeric also gets converted from text to numbers. A couple of examples where this is problematic: ZIP/postal codes telephone numbers government ID numbers which sometimes can start with one or more zeroes (0), which get thrown away when converted to numeric. Or the value contains characters that can be confused with mathematical operators (as in dates: /, -). Two cases that I can think of that the "prepending =" solution, as mentioned previously, might not be ideal is where the file might be imported into a program other than MS Excel (MS Word's Mail Merge function comes to mind), where human-readability might be important. My hack to work around this If one pre/appends a non-numeric and/or non-date character in the value, the value will be recognized as text and not converted. A non-printing character would be good as it will not alter the displayed value. However, the plain old space character (\s, ASCII 32) doesn't work for this as it gets chopped off by Excel and then the value still gets converted. But there are various other printing and non-printing space characters that will work well. The easiest however is to append (add after) the simple tab character (\t, ASCII 9). Benefits of this approach: Available from keyboard or with an easy-to-remember ASCII code (9), It doesn't bother the importation, Normally does not bother Mail Merge results (depending on the template layout - but normally it just adds a wide space at the end of a line). (If this is however a problem, look at other characters e.g. the zero-width space (ZWSP, Unicode U+200B) is not a big hindrance when viewing the CSV in Notepad (etc), and could be removed by find/replace in Excel (or Notepad etc). You don't need to import the CSV, but can simply double-click to open the CSV in Excel. If there's a reason you don't want to use the tab, look in an Unicode table for something else suitable. Another option might be to generate XML files, for which a certain format also is accepted for import by newer MS Excel versions, and which allows a lot more options similar to .XLS format, but I don't have experience with this. So there are various options. Depending on your requirements/application, one might be better than another. Addition It needs to be said that newer versions (2013+) of MS Excel don't open the CSV in spreadsheet format any more - one more speedbump in one's workflow making Excel less useful... At least, instructions exist for getting around it. See e.g. this Stackoverflow: How to correctly display .csv files within Excel 2013? .
SELECT CONCAT('\'',NOW(),'\''), firstname, lastname
FROM your_table
INTO OUTFILE 'export.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '\"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
这个问题仍然存在于Mac Office 2011和Office 2013,我无法阻止它发生。这似乎是很基本的事情。
在我的例子中,我有诸如“1 - 2”和“7 - 12”的值,在CSV中正确地用倒逗号括起来,这将自动转换为excel中的日期,如果您尝试随后将其转换为纯文本,您将得到日期的数字表示形式,如43768。此外,它将条形码和EAN编号中的大数字重新格式化为123E+数字,再次无法转换回来。
我发现谷歌驱动器的谷歌表不能将数字转换为日期。条形码中每3个字符有一个逗号,但这些很容易被删除。它处理csv非常好,特别是在处理MAC / Windows csv时。
说不定还能救人。
在微软Office 2016版本中,这仍然是一个问题,这让我们这些研究基因名称的人感到不安,如MARC1、MARCH1、SEPT1等。 我发现最实用的解决方案是在R中生成一个“。csv”文件,然后将与Excel用户打开/共享:
以文本(记事本)形式打开CSV文件 复制它(ctrl+a, ctrl+c)。 粘贴到一个新的excel表格中-它将全部粘贴在一列作为长文本字符串。 选择/选择此列。 转到Data-“Text to columns…”,在打开的窗口中选择“delimited”(下一步)。检查“逗号”被标记(标记它将显示数据与下面列的分离)(下一步),在这个窗口中,您可以选择您想要的列并将其标记为文本(而不是通用)(完成)。

另一种方法:
将要更改的列的格式转换为“Text”。选择要保留的所有单元格,复制。在不取消这些列的情况下,单击“编辑>粘贴特殊> As值”
保存为CSV。请注意,这必须是您对文件所做的最后一件事,因为当您重新打开它时,它将自己格式化为日期,因为单元格格式不能保存在CSV文件中。
