Or export to CSV correctly and test with Excel and/or LibreOffice. Honestly CSV is a very simple, well defined format, that is decades old and is “obvious”. I’ve had far more trouble with various export to excel functions over the years, that have much more complex third-party dependencies to function. Parsing CSV correctly is not hard, you just can’t use split and be done with it. This has been my coding kata in every programming language I’ve touched since I was a teenager learning to code.
