Hi,
I am trying to upload Date from CF to XL file. But in my date i have comma(","), when try to save as .csv file it is taking into seperate cell, where i need in the same cell.
ex:
Naren, san K ---> should be inserted into one cell.
thanks

It sounds like you're not wrapping your alphanumeric fields in quotes. Numerics and dates do not need quotes because they won't have commas in them. If you had a file that contained name, shoe size and favorite color it would need to look like this:

"Doe, John", 11, "Blue"
"Doe, Jane", 6, "Red"
Etc..

CSV (Comma Separated Values) uses a text qualifier of "," so if a comma is not within quotes it assumes that it is a new field.

Hope this helps!
