want .csv to always open in Excel

How do I permanently change the default program that is used to open .csv files?

Keeps reverting to Numbers, which I don't want.

Selected Always Open with Excel, but it does not hold.

iMac, macOS 10.13

Select a .csv file, press "command + i" (Get Info). Change "Open with:" to Excel, click the Change All button.
