Question : Excel and UTF8

i got mysql that all set up for utf8...
when i importing excel file i get ???? because the file is not saved in utf8.

in txt files you can just 'save as' and save it in the encoding that you like...how can do the same with excel?
or how can i make all the encoding be converted into utf8 before it being saved to the db?

Answer : Excel and UTF8

Try this - I've never put the convert into an insert - but this may work

INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME(column)
VALUES (CONVERT('abc' USING UTF8);
