Data split while loading into CSV

  • Hi,

    I am loading data from sql server to a flatfile (.csv format). One of the column will have values like

    =HsGetValue("GPDetail","Scenario#Actual;Year#2012;Period#P07;View#YTD;Entity#G1G2_0609000;Value#<Entity Curr Total>;Account#G3G4_19270999;ICP#I_0695;Custom1#topC1;Custom2#topC2;Custom3#[None];Custom4#[None]")

    When I am trying to load it, data is splitting into 2 columns where comma is loacated. I tried changing different text qualifiers and column delimiters. Please let me know the solution guys.

    Thanks in advance!

    When you change the column delimiter to something else - a pipe (|) perhaps - what happens?

    You talk about 'loading' it - yet from your description, you are exporting it. Can you clarify what you mean by 'load'?

  • Yes you are right. I am exporting from sqlserver to csv file.

    I tried pipe as column delimiter. It's not working too.

    Can you please try to test once with the value I given.

    When you say 'not working', what do you mean?

    If I told you that my car was not working, would you be able to suggest how to fix it?
