I want to save data in tabular form and want to save it in excel (csv) form, I have checked references and also tried examples from the internet, there are no errors, but when I addColumn (title) no new column is formed besides the previous column.

here’s an example that I run, and the result

Table table;

void setup() {

  table = new Table();
  
  table.addColumn("id");
  table.addColumn("species");
  table.addColumn("name");
  
  TableRow newRow = table.addRow();
  newRow.setInt("id", table.getRowCount() - 1);
  newRow.setString("species", "Panthera leo");
  newRow.setString("name", "Lion");
  
  saveTable(table, "data/new.csv");
}

// Sketch saves the following to a file called "new.csv":
// id,species,name
// 0,Panthera leo,Lion

nanya before

but i want it like this, is it possible? Any suggestions for me? thank you

The problem here is Excel
You can’t use “open” here
Instead use “import data…” or something

Are you seeing an excel icon?

I may be related to regional settings:

It just did a quick search…

As I wrote: imho the text file is correct so it’s not a Problem how you write the data

Instead it’s a Problem of how you load the data in Excel; please import it
