Then save it as a file called “template” or something. The next time you export data, you open it in Excel, then cut/paste the entire exported set into the ‘template’ file. You may still need to do format things like zip & date columns, but you would not have to reformat for column widths, etc AND … when you cut/ paste the new data, if you leave one row at the top of the template file with the formatting you like, you can paint-brush that formatting to all the rows and then delete that first row that was retained just for the formatting. * Note that any field with more than 256 characters may need to be additionally cut/pasted as the data may otherwise be truncated. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] How to export fields as text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-export-fields-as-text/) * [DavidK](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidk/) * (@davidk) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-export-fields-as-text/#post-13503865) * Hi – There are many default options in Excel, however there is one that will format a particular column in a particular way. Like a number string to a date format. * One could build a Visual Basic Applications to automate the process in Excel, but for a simple re-formatting of a column, it is not worth the effort. * One must expect to need to do some massaging of the output of any database to any type of flat file (csv, text, excel, etc.) … Further, I’m not sure what you mean when you say that when you open a CSV is the content is altered, but you change the extension to TXT and then opening, it isn’t. CSV is just a comma-separated text file. There should be no difference in the way it behaves and either file format, once opened in Excel can be reformatted. The data in each cell will be the same, even if the format of that data isn’t. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] How to export fields as text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-export-fields-as-text/) * [DavidK](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidk/) * (@davidk) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-export-fields-as-text/#post-13500746) * As a person who uses Excel extensively; after opening the CSV file, select the column with zip codes, change the format 1 (with a PC) -> then “number” - > “special” -> zip code … that will add a leading zero. Ditto with; 1 (with a PC) -> then “number” -> “date” and select the format you prefer. (ditto with phone numbers, social security numbers, etc. etc.) … then “save as” an Excel file. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] Field Attributes w/HTML](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/field-attributes-w-html/) * Thread Starter [DavidK](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidk/) * (@davidk) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/field-attributes-w-html/#post-13038998) * Thank you Roland …. and who said: * > CSS is simple, until it’s not.
