When opening the CSV file, one of the tabs disappeared. It looks like CSV can lose a random tab in the file, although saved ones. Thoughts? I have tried: Mac, latest version A loss of data from the CSV file: The entire tab within Excel was deleted. via  (pound)TMPDIR got into TemporaryItems no file there No TimeMachine backup. iCloud doesn't offer previous file versions. The file doesn't offer previous versions (files - Browse Version History,it's grey )

    CSV file do not support multiple worksheets. When saving a workbook as a CSV file, the warning says to save each sheet in its own CSV file.

    A CSV is one text file, it can not have multiple "sheets", that's impossible by design.
