Then you are using the wrong filter.

Start Calc.
File > Open and in that open dialog select your file.
In the lower part of the dialog use the drop-dow list "file type", 
scroll the list till item "Text CSV (*.csv, *txt)". That item is forth 
last of the "spreadsheet" section.
Open.

If it still opens in Writer, then the file is not a csv file and someone 
gave it a wrong file name extension. In that case open the file in an 
editor and post the start of the file here.

Kind regards
Regina
