Import csv with polluted data

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to import some data with a CSV file (separator : comma). 

 

But the data is a real disaster.

 

Let's take the content of only 2 columns of this file and some examples->

column A : 

  • 100R74X8,6MM
  • SBH3.79011
  • TVH/133
  • 22-1041

column B :

  • "NUT;MEF1"
  • Fil 2,4mm
  • CO 89D,-01

 

How can I import this type of file while my CSV is a comma separator and I want all the info in the good column? 

 

Can somebody help me? I'm stuck 😞

 

Have a nice day
