dataframe write to tab delimited differs from Excel - koh - Aug-01-2021

Hi,
I use econtrol_df.to_csv('econsolidated.txt',sep='\t',header=False,index=False) but the created (text) tab delimited file differs from the one when I opened the csv file in Excel and saved it under (text) tab delimited. Please advise how to get the same using dataframe write to (text) tab delimited file.
