How can i generate excel CSV like following:
Well, CSV stands for comma separated values, if you open up your generated file through note pad you will have a real look what those data really looks like and you will have an idea on what your asking for.
column1-1,column1-2,column1-3
datat1-1,"data1-2,data11-3
column2-1,column2-2,column2-3
data12-1,data12-2,data12-3"
