Output as cvs add special characters

[maxi_reperger]

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)
