      Found the answer.

      1) Export your data as CSV

      2) instead of opening EXCEL direct rename the file to a .TXT file.

      3) Open the file in excel as a TXT file.

      4) Excel will then prompt saying This is a delimited file etc.

      5) Chose the delimited option

      6) He Voila — your data is in nice columns.

      Cheers

      SQLyog calls the export file CSV even if the field separator is not comma. Try exporting to CSV format with comma set as separator and then it should work as expected.

      What are the specific options needed for export to Excel?

      Minimum requirement: fields separated by ',' and lines terminated by 'rn'. Escape characters depend on your data (I use none). It might be useful to add column names to the export file as well.
