Hello

I cant seem to find a way to get the chinese characters to export to excel correctly.   Does anyone know how to do this?  I read some other discussions and there are links listed that say they resolve the issue but the links do not work.    Please help, i need to export these lead to our APAC region manager and cant seem to get the characters to come up in excel.

Thanks

Are you trying to export them out from Marketo and preseve characters?
If you export as a CSV you won't be able to preserve the characters. If you select Tab Delimited, this will preserve the characters.

Thanks Edward for that information. it worked well for me. Here is the process I used to make sure I can preserve special characters that can be found in German, Swedish or French for example.
  • Export from Marketo as tab delimited
    • This will create a text file (.txt) and not a CSV
  • Open Excel
  • Then file (Menu) , then open file
  • Select the text file you exported from Marketo
  • Then in “text import wizard”
    • Change the File origin format to Unicode (UTF-8)
  • Now I can save the file to .xlsx
