Paginated Report export to CSV adding quotation mark only for selected lines
I still don't see the issue. Power BI handles quoted data automatically, even if not every row is quoted.
I dont want the double quotes when exported from paginated report as csv.
This is paginated report and I do understand it is default behaviour. This can be overwritten if it is on-premise PBIRS/SSRS server, check the links above. But for power bi service, I want to know how to do ...
This is Not Self-Service Analytical Reports.
Have you considered using a different field separator, like the pipe symbol?
I assume you read all my previous replies. I will restate again for your clarification:
Paginated report contains only one table, and the table has only one column.
Say, if your CSV paginated report output is 10 lines, and only two lines have comma, then quotes are added to those two lines. For the remaining 8 lines it won't add quotes. This is the default behavior.
So, pipe symbol separator is not option, as there is only one column in the table.
I appreciate your patience in providing options and solution to me.
CSV stands for comma separated values. In reality the separator can be any character or character sequence. Ideally the separator does not appear in the actual data. If it does then it needs to be protected/quoted. The system is not smart enough to realize that you only have one column. It will try to protect the separator character regardless.
See if you can change the default field separator to something other than a comma.
