What on earth makes you think that Excel will error check a CSV? It'll make assumptions about the data that you will have no idea about and you can easily end up with worse data than you started with!

If you are seriously worried about handling user errors, then bite the bullet and produce your own simple data entry app which does validation for you and stores in whatever format you like - CSV, EXcel, JSON, XML, DB - it doesn't matter if you are in control of the user input as well as the later file processing.

But assuming that "Excel will make it all right" is a recipe for an upset user ...
