CSV file import - remove unwanted comma

Posted on by Samantha73 3,253

Hi All

I have this problem when importing records from a CSV file. Most fields do not have comma but sometimes the address of a customer contains a comma like the below example:

12 London Street, UK

In this case the comma acts as a column separator and splits the address.  Is there any way to deal with this in BC SaaS CSV buffer or any other suggestions?

Thanks

    Hi,

    You can use another separator like TAB delimiter

    Hi, how about deleting this comma before importing it into the system?

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/methods-auto/text/text-delchr-method

    Or split it into two fields and import to the system?

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/methods-auto/text/text-split-list%5Btext%5D-method

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks.
