How are you trying to import it? Assuming you are using SSIS or Import/Export Wizard, there are only two ways that I know of to avoid this type of behavior:a) Use something else other than comma as your delimiter, so there is no ambiguity as to whether a comma is part of the data or a delimiter.b) escape the data items that have embedded commas using an escape character (typically double-quotes), and specify the escape character (in import/export wizard or SSIS). Eg."2,4 nitro Chloride""3,1 Sodium Chloride" |
