Export CSV

Hello,

 

I created a table in power bi desktop, and now I'm exporting the data to csv to open the same in excel.

 

When I opened in excel, the fields that have text with ";" go to other column, and the fields become unformatted.

 

How can I solve this problem?

 

Thanks

I could not replicate your issue, I wonder if your raw data has carriage returns after each ; character?   Try this to see if you find errors?  

 

Column = SUBSTITUTE('Table'[Test2],UNICHAR(10),"LineBreak Was Here")
 
P.S.  Also serach for UNICHAR(9) and UNICHAR(13)
