        TIL powershell adds \r and "converts" to UTF16 when you pipe/redirect binary files. Very interesting design choice. https://brianreiter.org/2010/01/29/powershells-object-pipeline-corrupts-piped-binary-data/ …pic.twitter.com/zJugqU4XNz

        don't know you very well, but it seems like you work for MS, and spend a lot of energy complaining about MS?

        How is this Excel's fault? Columns can be formatted (data type = Text, for instance) prior to export. Learn, don't call names. 🙂

        I have to deal with this on a regular basis, except my extra fun part is that I can't download all of the data as a CSV. XLS only.

        I have basically added another column of data to hold the last 8 digits of the string so I can concatenate them back together. FML.

        Power Query can transform data to prep for CSV or even clean mangled CSV data.
