Description
In the Course Completion report (report/completion/index.php) there are options:
- Download in spreadsheet format (UTF-8 .csv)
- Download in Excel-compatible format (.csv)
These links download the same file, noted previously in a comment to MDL-39156.
It could be useful if the Excel-compatible format added the UTF-8 byte order mark (BOM) to avoid Excel using the wrong character encoding.
The Activity Completion report (report/progress/index.php) CSV export is not affected because it uses different code to generate the file. This includes the BOM – and uses UTF-16 – when the "Excel-compatible" link is used. See MDL-45832 regarding this discrepancy.
This issue (MDL-72035) may be a duplicate or partial duplicate of MDL-70762.
