CSV only holds one sheet
A CSV file is a single table of plain text, so formatting, formulas and extra sheets don't come across. Keep the original Excel file as your master copy and convert a copy to CSV when a site asks for it.
Watch out for these
Leading zeros in phone numbers and ZIP codes can vanish when a CSV is reopened in Excel, so check them. Dates may change format between countries. Accented characters are safest when the receiving system expects UTF-8 text, which most modern tools do.
