I have a CSV file, comma delimited, where each piece of data is surrounded by
double quotes. Here's an example: "Yann Contratto","","Révision","11/01/2005","20000 - PROJETS INTERNES- Div. Exp.&Cons.","20000","2.00","0242 - Soumission SERVICES","$0.00","","$0.00"," N/A" In Excel 2003 it imports into unique columns and everything works fine. But for a client of mine using Excel 2002 - it imports as you see it above. So then he has to convert text to columns or import (instead of just File-Open). It takes a few steps to do it, and I'd like to help him avoid those steps. He also has to convert numbers from text values to numbers, which in my case is not required whatsoever. I could show him how to setup a macro I suppose but there's gotta be a better answer. I'd be surprised if this is a problem specific with Excel 2002 - and he's the only customer that's ever mentioned it. The only difference here is that this is a Canadian customer (versus a US customer) so he may be using a Canadian version of Excel. I'd like to make it so that as soon as he opens the .CSV file in Excel it puts things into the proper columns and formats the values properly without any manual intervention. Thanks. Benjamin |
