We are getting error while opening CSV file generated from the Qlik Export.Below is the code snippet used to export the table data into excel.

var table;

table = app.createTable(transactionDimensions, null);

table.OnData.unbind(ExportToCSV);

table.exportData({ format: 'CSV_C', download: false }, function (link) {

     window.open('http' + (config.isSecure ? 's' : '') + '://' + config.host + ':' + config.port + link, '_blank');

});

After little more research, its an excel issue not qlik sense issue. When the export file has first column starting with uppercase "ID", this error is thrown from excel.
