    Hi Manpreet,

    In a Data Loader .CSV, if there is a comma in field content, you will have to enclose the contents within double quotation marks: ” “

    Hello,

    A properly formatted CSV can contain commas in its field values and can be used to import data.

    Thanks.

    Hi Manpreet,

    To do this, you have to surround each of your data columns with quotes.  So if I wanted to insert an Account with the Name of "Comma, Name" I would use:

    "Name", "Industry"
    "Account, Name", "Electronics"
