CSV is Comma Separated... not quote comma separated.
You will have to either add quotes around each value or use a macro. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291296 for a macro solution. "_Ann_" wrote: I am exporting an Excel worksheet to a CSV file.

export to CSV file
yeah i get the comma-separated point. But i find it odd that Excel will add
quotes if there is a comma in one of the cells. Was hoping for a bit more flexibility in formatting the comma-separate values. The app that will use the CSV files requores quoted values. Thanks for the link. I'll give it a try. "Sheeloo" wrote: CSV is Comma Separated... not quote comma separated. You will have to either add quotes around each value or use a macro.

It has to add quotes if the cell value contains a comma since the values are
separated by commas in CSV... otherwise the values with commas will be split over two or more fields... While answering a post we have no idea about the level of expertise of the person asking the questions so sometime we come across as condescending...
