I have data coming from a .csv file generated on ODK aggregate. When I open
my .csv file with Excel 2010 I have issue with comma (,) in the field.
Indeed with Excel 2010 my values are split in two different cells even
though if I have double-quotes marks around them (i.e. "Marie, Jane").
However with Excel 2013 this issue doesn't occur.
The XLS form for my questionnaire have been created using Excel 2013
Someone knows if this can explain why my data is correctly imported
using Excel 2013 and not on Excel 2010?

Microsoft Office has many issues with CSV. It can't even tolerate CSV's
having non-ANSI unicode data (like Hindi - हिंदी)
I recommend you use LibreOffice Calc to work with CSV files.
Here, every time you open it, it asks you properly about the encoding, the
field separators, previews your data, etc in a popup window before loading.
So there is no long-winded process of changing settings every time you use
a different CSV.
It's even great for saving tables as CSV : again giving you all the options
of picking a field separator, quotes, etc.
