      Encrypting/Password Protecting CSV Files


      Using Microsoft Excel
      1. Open your CSV file in Excel:
         - Launch Excel.
         - Go to `File → Open` and select your CSV file.

      2. Save as an Excel Workbook:

         - Choose the location where you want to save the file.
         - In the `Save as type` dropdown, select `Excel Workbook (*.xlsx)`.
