Delimiter in the csv file

My Alteryx csv output has delimiter without defining it, I am trying to get the each field name in separate column but they are all coming in a single cell with a delimiter(,). Image1- output. Image2- expected output. Image3- Output settingsCapture.PNGCapture2.PNGCapture3.PNG

Can you parse it using a text to columns tool after bringing it in? You can then use a Dynamic Rename tool to set the first row of data as the new headers after parsing out to set your column names.

I can do that but I feel there is something to do with settings because every time I export the csv I will have it all in the same cell and I will need to use text to columns

At a glance it looks like you don't have a delimiter chosen in the #3 setting. What happens when you put a comma in there?

Can you check the box for first row contains field names?

Could you please share the screenshot of the Alteryx workflow? And also the screenshot of the result window selecting the input port of the Output tool?

Just change the "code page" configuration to 'Unicode UTF-8' or 'ISO 8859-1 Latin I', it will work. Also, mention comma as delimiter.
