FormBrowser export to xls don't show correct characters

Post by tilde »

When I do an export to xls file the characters is not correct in Excel.

I need to show the characters in danish language.

How do I fix this?

Two options:

- edit the module code to replace the unicode characters to latin-1 using string replace. Did that before, but the easier option is to:

- save the CSV to disk, open excel, choose import from file, select the file, and in the dialog where you define field delimiter, you now can choose encoding in a dropdown. Choose utf-8 and you should have it correct. Works for me(swedish chars)
