Resolution
Ensure any commas within strings are within quoted strings and not unquoted strings. This will ensure they are not read as a column separator.Cause
CSV files need to contain quotes around commas if the comma exists in the data and is not a field separator. They may also be required around other special characters.Additional Information
For more information about comma separated values, see this article on Wikipedia.Thank you for providing your feedback on the effectiveness of the article.
