CSV Convertion

Hi.


When in numbers I export as CSV it make a file with ";" instead of ",". Problem is I can't import it in the system I'm using so two questions:


1. Is there a way to make Numbers separate as ","?


2. If I have a cell with a text block, including commas in the text, how this CSV file will manage that?


Many thanks,

Luiz

The easiest way I think is to switch System Preferences > Language & Region to a Region that uses , instead of ; , for example 'United States.' After doing that you need to close all Numbers documents, quit, and relaunch. Then export. Check that the export has the , delimiters that you want, and then switch back to your Region and relaunch Numbers again to resume your normal work.


Numbers knows to wrap the text in " " when there is a , in the text.
