I do not think that you can download a csv file from Ancestry. Just giving a file a name like filename.csv does not change the content. if you downloaded a file from Ancestry it is probably a GEDCOM file which is the standard format for genealogical files.

Rename the file to filename.ged
Open Legacy and use file > Import > GEDCOM file
when you have finished the import from filename.ged
Go to View > Name List
Click Options > Print
Now you will be able to define up to three rows of data you can include for each person.
Select CSV file in the lower right
The print box in the upper right will change to Create
Click create
In the dialog box select the folder where you want to save the file and assign a file name
Click save
Remember where you saved that file
Open Excel then open the file you exported from legacy.
