Here is what going on with the quotations

Quotation marks in CSV files can create major formatting issues, especially when they aren’t handled correctly. Here’s why they can be problematic:

1. Field Delimiters vs. Content Confusion

CSV files often use commas to separate fields. If a field contains a quotation mark, some systems assume everything inside quotes is a single field. This can lead to broken imports or incorrect data parsing.

For example:

“Product Name”,”Description”,”Price”
“12” Pipe”,”Stainless steel pipe”,”25.00″

Here, “12” Pipe” might be interpreted incorrectly, causing import errors.

2. Special Characters Disrupt Formatting

Many companies use quotation marks to represent inches (e.g., 12" for 12 inches), but CSV systems don’t recognize this distinction—they treat the quote as a field boundary, leading to misaligned columns or missing data.
