See also discussion [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/what-is-the-preferred-way-to-save-variables). I just recently came across that thread after having some problems with JLD2 and finding out that the package is “officially abandoned” now. Of the solutions discussed there, I opted for BSON.

However if the data are to be **directly** readable by Excel, .csv or native Excel format appear to be the only options. Otherwise you could probably consider writing some simple converter from BSON (or like) into .csv
