 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * When exporting, TablePress uses the character encoding that is set in the WordPress
   settings, so usually that is UTF-8 actually…
    What character encoding to the 
   exported files have in your case (when you check in a text editor)?
 * Regards,

 * Hi,
 * thanks for checking that! That means that the export from TablePress works as
   it should. The problem is then how Excel interprets the file.
    In the past, I’ve
   had better results here with these ideas: – Try exporting the CSV file with a
   different delimiter character (`;` or `'`). – Try opening the file not by double-
   clicking the file, but by choosing “File” -> “Open” in Excel.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
