Exporting data in Akti is done in CSV format. This is a universal file format and leads to the best performance when exporting. You can easily convert this CSV-file to an Excel-file (XLS or XLSX), in order to continue working in this format.

Windows

1. After exporting the data, open a blank Excel sheet. In the menu at the top, go to the Data tab. In the new submenu, you can use the icon or menu to select the From Text/CSV option.

2. In the pop-up that opens, look for the CSV file you previously exported from Akti. Then you click on Import.

3. In the new pop-up that opens, select the value: 65001: Unicode (UTF-8) under File origin and then load the file. Once you've done this, the CSV file is available in XLS/Excel format.
