Fixing Misaligned Rows in Clay Spreadsheet CSV Downloads

Hi guys I'm trying to download some Clay spreasheet as CSV but when I do the process and download the file I get all the cells/rows messed up and not ordered like on Clay. Does anyone know why and how can I have my rows and cells in the correct place?

Try opening the downloaded csv from clay in google sheets instead of excel. Use the import from csv option in google sheets - should work.

That's interesting kushagra - does it always happen on excel?

um maybe depends on how you are importing/opening it on excel, not 100% sure if it happens always in all cases

I had a similar issues. I think the root cause is the special characters in CSV which excel recognizes as a separate line. Great work around kushagra 💯

Yes that was my experience Bharat D.. It was “,” and “;” from the CSV that caused the formatting issue.
