When an administrator – with access to the report generator under Administrative tools – draws a report, certain values are “interpreted incorrectly” by Excel, for example some EKA codes. It cannot be corrected in the Digital Exam the risk of other errors.
Note: When Excel opens a .csv file, it uses the current default data format settings to interpret how to import each column of data. If you want more flexibility in converting columns to different data formats, you can use the Import Text Wizard.
However, there is a way around this, which Excel itself also indicates as a workaround. It is found on this page – here it is specified both for Office 2010-2016 and for newer versions (which are pasted below). The key is that the report should not be opened directly after download, but must be opened from within Excel by clicking on the Data and From Text tab and then the data must be defined as Delimited, that the semicolon is used as the delimiter and then the simplest thing is to mark all columns and click Finish
