 * Hi!
    I use the plugin together with the editor extension. I just tried downloading
   the data and realized that the csv export is really not very useful if you open
   it in Excel. Is there a workaround or a better way to export the data? Thanks!
   Best, Hanna

 * If you find Excel doesn’t read the file correctly:
 * – Try the different exports (Excel CSV, Excel TSV on Windows, Plain CSV otherwise)
   –
   Try opening a new SS and File -> Import the .csv file
