Output as cvs add special characters

Hi!

 

I hope somebody can help me with this issue I'm facing.

 

After running the workflow my output is a *.cvs file. In the "Results section" I see the data correctly, however when I open the *cvs file as a spreadsheet or a txt, many lines contain "?" at the beginning of the text (or cell if opening with Excel).

 

Any thoughts on why could this happen so I can remove this?

 

Thansk !

Hi @maxi_reperger,

 

Depending of your data, you may need to use a different Code Page in the Output data tool (https://help.alteryx.com/11.0/index.htm#CodePages.htm?Highlight=code page)

 

Kind regards,
