Question about DMF and Source data formats (csv) - how to setup

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by migi111 485

I need to export csv-file with DMF. The problem is that one field in the entity contains text that has many lines (CR/LF) - which means there are many "enters" and it continues on the next line. This confuses the export and the file becomes unreadable. So my question is can I somehow setup the csv source data format so that it understands that the text with CR/LF should not make a new line, but only create a string until the next column starts?

    Hi Migi111,

    This is not possible with a CSV file. It looks like you open the file in Excel. Is it an option to export the file e.g. in an Excel format?
