Question

There’s 1 column that contains commas. When I output my query to csv, these commas break the csv format. What I’ve been doing to avoid this is a simple
replace(A.”Sales Rep”,’,’,”)

Is there a better way of doing this so that I can actually get the commas in the final output without breaking the csv file?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Quote the fields with "

a,this has a , in it,b

would become

a,"this has a, in it",b

and if the fields have BOTH a , and a ", double the quotes:

a,this has a " and , in it,b

becomes

a,"this has a "" and , in it",b
