Dear Sabine, please also note language: you are from Basel, and I can see that you use a German version of Excel, thus presumably your Windows is also German. Both have their own ways of interpreting CSV files and you have to be explicit in telling step by step what you tell Excel... As Torsten and Jamie say, this is not an EpiData issue, it is an Excel issue.

Does the file name end in .csv? Excel should recognize that. In any case, there is a simple way to convert your single column data to table form.
Select all the data in the first column On the menu bar: Data, Text to Columns Choose delimited Make sure comma is the delimiter
That’s it - and you get to see what is happening as you go along.
