hmmm. my guess is to append a single quote before the numbers - sdo the csv
field contains. "'3 - 1"

Subject: (OT) .csv file and Excel

I'm generating a .csv file for downloaing into Excel. Problem is, if I have
fields that contain values like so:
"1 - 3"
Excel automatically converts this into a date: 3-Jan. Is there any way to
prevent this from my side?
