I know this is an old question, but the problem is not going away soon. CSV files are easy to generate from most programming languages, rather small, human-readable in a crunch with a plain text editor, and ubiquitous. The problem is not only with dates in text fields, but anything numeric also gets converted from text to numbers. A couple of examples where this is problematic: ZIP/postal codes telephone numbers government ID numbers which sometimes can start with one or more zeroes (0), which get thrown away when converted to numeric. Or the value contains characters that can be confused with mathematical operators (as in dates: /, -). Two cases that I can think of that the "prepending =" solution, as mentioned previously, might not be ideal is where the file might be imported into a program other than MS Excel (MS Word's Mail Merge function comes to mind), where human-readability might be important. My hack to work around this If one pre/appends a non-numeric and/or non-date character in the value, the value will be recognized as text and not converted. A non-printing character would be good as it will not alter the displayed value. However, the plain old space character (\s, ASCII 32) doesn't work for this as it gets chopped off by Excel and then the value still gets converted. But there are various other printing and non-printing space characters that will work well. The easiest however is to append (add after) the simple tab character (\t, ASCII 9). Benefits of this approach: Available from keyboard or with an easy-to-remember ASCII code (9), It doesn't bother the importation, Normally does not bother Mail Merge results (depending on the template layout - but normally it just adds a wide space at the end of a line). (If this is however a problem, look at other characters e.g. the zero-width space (ZWSP, Unicode U+200B) is not a big hindrance when viewing the CSV in Notepad (etc), and could be removed by find/replace in Excel (or Notepad etc). You don't need to import the CSV, but can simply double-click to open the CSV in Excel. If there's a reason you don't want to use the tab, look in an Unicode table for something else suitable. Another option might be to generate XML files, for which a certain format also is accepted for import by newer MS Excel versions, and which allows a lot more options similar to .XLS format, but I don't have experience with this. So there are various options. Depending on your requirements/application, one might be better than another. Addition It needs to be said that newer versions (2013+) of MS Excel don't open the CSV in spreadsheet format any more - one more speedbump in one's workflow making Excel less useful... At least, instructions exist for getting around it. See e.g. this Stackoverflow: How to correctly display .csv files within Excel 2013? .

在我的案例中，使用R生成的csv文件中的“Sept8”被Excel 2013转换为“8-Sept”。该问题通过使用xlsx包中的write.xlsx2()函数生成xlsx格式的输出文件来解决，该输出文件可以由Excel加载，而无需进行不必要的转换。因此，如果给你一个csv文件，你可以尝试将它加载到R中，并使用write.xlsx2()函数将其转换为xlsx。

使用谷歌驱动器(如果你在Mac上，也可以使用Numbers)的解决方案:

在Excel中打开数据 将数据错误的列的格式设置为文本(format > Cells > Number > Text) 将.csv文件加载到谷歌Drive，并使用谷歌Sheets打开它 复制出错的列 将列作为文本粘贴到Excel中(编辑>粘贴特殊>文本)

或者，如果你在Mac上进行第3步，你可以在Numbers中打开数据。

如果在字段的开头放置一个倒置逗号，它将被解释为文本。

例子: 25/12/2008变成了25/12/2008

您还可以在导入时选择字段类型。

None of the solutions offered here is a good solution. It may work for individual cases, but only if you're in control of the final display. Take my example: my work produces list of products they sell to retail. This is in CSV format and contain part-codes, some of them start with zero's, set by manufacturers (not under our control). Take away the leading zeroes and you may actually match another product. Retail customers want the list in CSV format because of back-end processing programs, that are also out of our control and different per customer, so we cannot change the format of the CSV files. No prefixed'=', nor added tabs. The data in the raw CSV files is correct; it's when customers open those files in Excel the problems start. And many customers are not really computer savvy. They can just about open and save an email attachment. We are thinking of providing the data in two slightly different formats: one as Excel Friendly (using the options suggested above by adding a TAB, the other one as the 'master'. But this may be wishful thinking as some customers will not understand why we need to do this. Meanwhile we continue to keep explaining why they sometimes see 'wrong' data in their spreadsheets. Until Microsoft makes a proper change I see no proper resolution to this, as long as one has no control over how end-users use the files.

(EXCEL 2016及以后版本，实际上我没有尝试过旧版本)

打开新空白页 转到“数据”标签 点击“来自文本/CSV”，选择CSV文件 检查预览您的数据是否正确。 在сase中，当某些列被转换为日期时，单击“编辑”，然后通过单击列头部的日历选择类型文本 点击“关闭并加载”
