I entered some text in a texbox: "adk%$>sgf%<"<""sfd"%

I am able to view the exact text when I view as HTML, But when I am exporting the above text in excel the text looks like : adk%$>sgf%<<""sfd"%

Whereas I want the exact text I entered in the text box :"adk%$>sgf%<"<""sfd"%

Please help

Open report properties, go to "Report Attributes" tab, scroll down to the "Download" section.

"CSV separator" and "CSV enclosed by" properties should be set so that they won't bother you. I'd suggest you to put a semi-colon into "CSV separator" and leave "CSV enclosed by" empty. These settings seem to be working OK in a case you described (at least, they did for me).
