    Hi

    I have a couple of fields I wish to import that require commas – am I able to save it as Tab delimited SCSV and import is that way so that the commas won’t confuse the fields?

    @ Brett

    In theory, it should work just fine. You would change the “Fields delimited by:” option to a Tab in Step 1 when importing a CSV file.

    Now, What I recommend, is loading the file in LibreOffice Calc as explained in the Tips using the options shown in the screenshot and then leaving the CSV Import options at their default. The iport will process fine with commas because they will properly be accounted for when LibreOffice Calc exports the file.

    Hope that answers your question thoroughly! Let me know.
