How do I make Excel the default app and not Numbers...

I use Excel for almost everything I do. Now, in Catalina, I can't download .csv files without them opening in Numbers. How can I make Excel the default spreadsheet? There is an old answer from 2010 here, but that cure doesn't work now.


Thanks!

Right click on file, pick get info and at the bottom pick app (Excel) to open with and also select do this for all. That will make Excel the default.
