CSV

CSV is a good choice for data analysis. CSV files can be opened in most any spreadsheet program, including OpenOffice Calc, Google Sheets, and Microsoft Excel. CSV files can also be opened in any text editor, such as Notepad or WordPad.

CSV files are plain and simple text files without graphical formatting. This makes them portable - usable on virtually any personal computer. It also makes them faster-loading, and especially useful for data-crunching.
