Good morning  
New to the site, I’m looking for a solution if this exists, when creating a CSV file with gliddeapp.  
Glideapp creates the CSV with the “,” and I where it creates the file with " ; " as the column separator.  
Any ideas.  
THANKS

There’s no option to set a custom separator for the native integration. I’m not aware of any workarounds.

If you want a custom separator, you would need to construct the CSV yourself. This can be done using a combination of Template and Joined List columns.

Is there a way to download it afterwards? I assume you need to do some further steps?

I normally send it to Make via webhook, and then deliver via Gmail.

But I guess you could probably fashion a Data URI for direct download.

I am curious why the semicolon is a problem for you. Regardless if it is a problem, you can always simply replace all semicolons to either a comma or tab

Here is a (very old) video that shows how to do it step by step.

> [@How To: CSV Export and send as email](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-to-csv-export-and-send-as-email/31618):

> Below is a short tutorial that demonstrates how to generate a CSV export from Glide, and send it as an email attachment using Integromat. This uses the joined list technique that was originally described by @Purvang_Joshi [here](https://community.glideapps.com/t/export-glide-table-google-sheet-data-to-csv-using-joined-list-apps-script/27467). I hope others find it useful slight_smile
