3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0We are going to make a .csv file (comma separated values) by hand. Each line of text represents a series of columns. Each column is separated by a comma. First create your first row, by entering Date, Time, Data Collected, Comments.

7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Open the file, to see if it looks like a spreadsheet<\/p>\n
