how do i stop the preferred download to Numbers and switch to download csv files to excel instead?

whenever I download a csv file it opens in Numbers. whenever i open an email address online, it opens in Mail. I prefer Microsoft office apps. how do I change this preference?

In Finder go to a .csv and control-click it and choose Get Info.


In the dropdown under Open with change to Excel and click 'Change All..' under 'Use this application to open all documents like this one.'
