If your CSV file appears corrupted or won’t open correctly, try the following steps to recover your data:
- Re-export the Data: First, return to NavLead and re-export the file. Occasionally, issues during export can cause data corruption, so a fresh export might resolve the problem.
- Open in a Different Spreadsheet Tool: If the file still seems corrupted, try opening it in another tool like Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, or LibreOffice. Sometimes, specific spreadsheet software can interpret and fix minor formatting errors.
- Check for Formatting Issues: Open the CSV file in a plain text editor (such as Notepad or TextEdit) to look for inconsistencies, such as missing commas or unusual characters. Correcting these manually can sometimes make the file readable.
- Save in a Different Format: If possible, save the corrected file as a new CSV file or try converting it to another compatible format like XLSX before re-importing.
If the issue persists, contact our support team for assistance. They can help troubleshoot the file or provide alternative export options to ensure your data remains accessible.
