The csv separator used is currently ",". That is not recognized as the default separator in some environments. See https://superuser.com/questions/606272/how-to-get-excel-to-interpret-the-comma-as-a-default-delimiter-in-csv-files
We'll need an option e.g. to specify the separator.

Past CSV exports have created broken results such as:

When we create the csv, the separator and locality is taken into account. The locality consists of two things; The country and the language. Default locality: DE, Germany, EN, USA. Far away from the standardized ISO version. Internationalization issue involves column of type dates and floating points. The columns need to survive the round trip in the same shape. When we get the data back it is not ruined.
The base functionality is available now so closing this ticket. Please file new issues if there any problems in detail.
