Using a quote symbol in Analytics classifications

I utilize a measurement within a product description that looks something like this: Widget A - 2'3" x 4'2", or Widget B - 20". I believe that the quote character " " " is causing an issue when uploading the classification to Analytics using the importer. I've tried MANY different combinations of a v2.0 and v2.1 importer, excel file types, and trying to escape the special character by including quotes and double quotes in variace places in the key. I successfully use classifications with other items - what simple thing am I missing this time? I think it's a combo of needing to specify v2.0 importer and perhaps NOT using excel. . .

 

I cannot ask for the product name to be changed (I have that special characters not be used going forward).

 

I've read (many times):

@ptrost ,

Could you elaborate on what happens when you build the file with the header version 2.0 and set the Key value to Widget A - 2'3" x 4'2" ?

Could you please share the file if you are still experiencing an issue?

Dear ptrost,

If you would have escaped the characters, not sure on the reason.

Let me try to simulate the scenario and get back to you with the answer.
