Hi I am trying to export a report to CSV but I need to have the fields surrounded by double quotes. I can successfully have the report export to CSV giving me the format.

John,Jones,26,2011,qualified

What I need is for the report to export to CSV giving the output format

“John”,”Jones”,”26”,”2011”,”qualified”

Is this possible to do, I have looked at the web configuration Telerik.Reporting

 extensions area,  but I am unable to find any info or parameters that will achieve this.
Many thanks
Derek

Hi Derek,

The specifics of the CSV rendering format are listed in the Design Considerations for CSV Rendering help article. Customizations like the one you describe are not supported. If your goal is to export the contents of your database with some kind of formatting, you can accomplish this by saving them to a text file with a similar approach:
