dataTableToCsv output format: can I control it?

[Andrea Grillini]

I notice dataTableToCsv produces an output where columns values in the same row are separated with commas.

As a result, when somebody opens the csv file with Microsoft Excel columns are not recognized automatically as I could see with LibreOffice Calc.

I saw in order to see Microsoft Excel automatically find the columns semicolons instead of commas are needed.

Is there a way to tell dataTableToCsv to use semicolons instead of commas?

Thanks in advance! :-)

dataTableToCsv escapes any commas embedded in the data values by quoting the whole value, to avoid confusion with the comma separator. There is not a way to specify an alternative separator. You'd have to convert the csv file to another format outside of Google Charts.

While commas and double quotes are handled correctly, I notice that newlines (\n) are not.
