Problem with Hard Return and Dataport

Post by Jaz » Wed Nov 03, 2010 2:19 am

I am trying to download a CSV file in Dataport, but everywhere I have Hard Return in my description, excel puts the data on a new line. Is there a work around for this that does not require removing all the Returns from my descriptions manually?

I assume from the lack of responce, I just need to remove all the line breaks from my code. I can do this, but it makes for really ugly code.

From the Excel try to save the data as CSV file, and then use that for import/upload.

Thanks, that might work. The main problem is downloading the file form AC.
