I want to write something like 

=HYPERLINK("http://example.com"; "Example")

to a comma-separated CSV file, but Excel parses the semicolon and puts “Example”) part in another cell. I tried escaping the semicolon with backslash and wrapping everything in double quotes without any luck.

Any help?

    The wrapping with double quotes was already the correct idea, but you have to make sure you do it correctly. You can put a column within double quotes, then everything inside is considered as a single value. Quotes itself have to be escaped by writing two of them ("").

    See for example this:

    Column A;Column B;Column C
Column A;"Column B; with semicolon";Column C
Column A;"Column B"";"" with semicolon and quotes";Column C
Column A;"=HYPERLINK(""http://example.com""; ""Example"")";Column C
