--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
As noted in duplicate bug 124859

.CSV is not a native format, it is not even a viable spreadsheet (as no
formulas are encoded, just values). 

Data held in a .CSV (of any separator) will be filter imported to LibreOffice's
Spreadsheet UI--Calc.

Save is then to XML as ODF spreadsheet (.ODS). Any other format will use an
Export filter. User is warned, and this facet is well documented.

Advisory to users--do not work directly in formats that require filter import
and filter export. Mind your data keeping it in support ODF formats, and then
export the portion you need.
