I'm trying to import a CSV file to OpenOffice Calc, but the program is reading special characters incorrectly.



For example, one of the fields in the CSV is "Puma La Cerámica", but Calc imports it incorrectly. The same thing with another string "Puma Titán". Calc also reads it inccorrectly.



Here's the printscreen of the OpenOffice Calc Text Import:



enter image description here



I've been testing with the different formats in the dropdown "Character Set", but it remains the same. I changed the "Language" dropdown to "Spanish", but nothing. The csv file is in Spanish.



Any help is appreciated. For what it's worth, Excel reads it correctly.

  • Can we assume that any solution needs to be at your end (you have no control over how the CSV file is prepared)? The best solution would obviously be interpreting the data correctly on import. I haven't researched that, but I can think of a workaround until a solution is presented. There is only a limited number of these special characters, and Calc makes substitutions that are easy to identify. Worst case, you could apply a collection of SUBSTITUTE expressions to replace any such instances.
