Hi,

I would like to have Excel as the default app to open .csv files but my default app is Numbers now. How could I change to Excel?

Best,

In Finder on your Mac, select (highlight) a .csv file and then use File menu > Get Info (or command I) and then in the "Open with" section of the Info window select Excel and then click the Change All button.
