You have not marked the option 'Format quoted filed as text' Hi, Thanks for your response. Even selecting Option 'Format quoted field as text' does not have any impact. Expectation is, since the data ( "This is a single, cell" ) has comma in double-quotes, it should land in a single cell. Even if I select 'Format quoted field as text' as true, it still lands in two cells. ~ Abhay D Can someone please update the importance to critical. This is because, once a user opens a CSV file with comma in data, and saves it, the entire CSV file gets corrupted. This is the dataloss situation and hence upped the importance for this issue. Thanks, ~Abhay D Reviewing your pic, you have not selected and string delimiter, with it works fine for me. And please don't set up your bugs as NEW, someone else must do it. Yes, you are correct. Setting up the String Delimiter resolved the issue for me. Closing this issue as resolved. Wfm is when there was a bug, see Status, here is NotABug. |
Created attachment 170615 [details] Combined pic Hi All, I have a CSV with comma in data. The data is correctly enclosed with double-quotes. CSV data is : "This is a single, cell" While importing a CSV file with enclosing chars, the preview shows the data correctly. Shown in pic_import_preview.png But after the calc opens, it puts the data in two different cells. Shown in pic_open_calc.png This is major, because once a user opens such a file and accidentaly saves it, calc adds an additional comma separator whereever the data is not with commas. i.e a new column gets added in the CSV file. This will lead to data error for all the downstream applications which are not expecting those columns.
