Hi.
I have been asked to look at creating a CSV file and have been given the spec. that it needs to output like.

Straightforward enough - apart from the start.

The first 3 cells in every row are blank and need to just return the comma, yet when I save my excel as a CSV, then open it in notepad, it seems to start at the info that was in column D (yet all other columns that have no data get the comma inputted that i would expect)

Anyone know how to correct this?

thanks in advance

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
If you put headers on the first row (before doing your Save As step) you should get commas for your empty cells.
