How to change the delimiter in CSV files created in OS
In OneStream cube views the features to either "Download Results And Save As A CSV File" or to "Download Results And Open" exists. Both features create CSV files with a comma as a delimiter. This is very annoying because when a comma is also used as thousands delimiter, so the CSV File does not get seperated in Excel columns correcty.
Is there the possibility to change the delimiter fpor CSV files?

Hello Guido,
we added the the german culture to OneStream and switched the user to the german culture. When I now use the function "download results and save as CSV file" I get a CSV file with semicolon as delimiter!

I see. Yes, as Martin_Gebhartl found out, that separator depends on the .NET culture assigned to the OneStream user (in particular, the .TextInfo.ListSeparator property of Culture objects). US-English uses comma, most European ones use semicolons. Like Martin did, as a workaround Guido_Wams might want to create a dedicated user with the culture that suits his needs.
Feel free to file an IdeaStream post if you think this should behave differently 😉
