A360 - Excel As Database - Syntactical Error in update statement when using a comma(,) in address field

I want to update an address field in an excel with a comma(,) in it by connecting the Excel As Database.

Steps Tried:

1) Placed a backslash in front of the comma. (Ex: 'New Street\, Mumbai')

2) Used both single and double quotes to enclose the string value.

Is there any other way to escape the comma?

Would you be so kind as to explain the exact operation you are trying to perform?

I was able to perform an UPDATE using the following query:

UPDATE DSheet1$$]

SET >TestColumn] = REPLACE(LTestColumn],',','')

There isn't a need to escape the comma with a backslash.

If this is not what you were looking for then please give us an example so that we will be in a better position to assist you.

Hi @Ambarish S ,

Hello @Ashwin A.K,

The actual issue was not with the Comma(,), it was with the apostrophe(') from some other field which I just saw.

Got the issue resolved by adding another apostrophe next to it.

Anyway Thank you so much for your response.

The actual issue is not with the Comma (,) It is with the apostrophe(') which resolved by adding another apostrophe ('') next to it.
