How to Fix Exported CSV Text Formatting Issues

·

i've noticed that when i download a clay table as a CSV that the text tends to get screwed up in the exported file with a bunch of strange special characters and stuff.. anyone else experiencing this and does anyone know how to fix it?

Hey there Will sorry for the delay, this tends to happen when symbols and Logos get exported. Since those data types may not be fully supported by the CSV format.

thanks luis, so would you just recommend removing as many of those logos and stuff as possible before exporting ??

You could try, but many of those symbols and logos are often part of the output. For example many of our Google integration often return the "G" in Google. This may be a case of "control F" in CSV, to remove all those symbols at once.
