Do you have special characters in your data? There is a note on the export in data & analysis: This is a .csv file that can be imported into other programs. Each value in the response is separated by a comma and each response is separated by a newline character. If your responses contain special characters and you will open this export in Microsoft Excel we recommend using the TSV export. Qualtrics CSV exports use UTF-8 encoding, which Excel will not open correctly by default.
Thank you Michelle, but I have the same problem with TSV file. Yes, I have special characters in my data (French language).

hi! were you able to resolve this issue? I am having similar issue with Response Export Automation - people have commas and line breaks in their text entry responses, and when exporting into our database it creates additional separate rows/records (and can't specify which fields to export in Automation Export). Trying to figure out work-arounds...

I also have special characters on my data (Spanish) and the tsv solution works. Thank you.
