Important Note on CSV Reports
If the names of CTE resources include special characters like equals (=), plus (+), minus (-), at (@), tab (0x09), and carriage return (0x0D), the resources are renamed in the downloaded CSV reports by applying the following rules:
-
Every cell is wrapped in double quotes
-
Every cell is prepended with a single quote
-
Every double quote is escaped using an additional double quote
For example, a resource named =A+B'" ;,=C+D is renamed as "'=A+B'"" ;,=C+D" in the downloaded CSV report.
