We are trying to export data to a CSV file via C# code. Some of the fields are really long and exceeds the max character limit of an excel's cell can support (32,767) as per this site. So what we did is to truncate any data in excess of the limit. However, when we tried opening the CSV file in excel, it placed some bits of characters below even though the text length inside the cell didn't reach the limit. I have attached a sample CSV file. Kindly download and open in excel. The csv field has a character limit of 32,766 including the begin and end double quotes. Is the limit different for CSV files?
