unable to load in comma delimiter csv file correctly

Hi guys,

I have a comma delimiter csv file. after I have loaded in. Some of the data in columns not aligned, some shift 1 column to the left, some shifted 1 column to the right.

I have attached the .csv file.  i have use comma delimiter when loading in. but yet , still not able to get the data. how to solve it?

As I seelcted "2015" which are not suppose to be in column_full field, found out that the data in column_h has apostrophe( ' ) symbol.

But when i viewed in excel program, the rows and columns look fine.

why csv delimiter cannot handle special symbol like apostrophe (‘). ????

with the sample data it works as expected I believe :

LOAD id,

     item_id,

     column_d,

     column_e,

     column_f,

     column_g,

     column_h,

     column_i,

     column_j,

     column_l,

     column_m,

     column_n,

     column_o,

     column_p,

     column_year,

     column_full,

     column_num,

     column_t,

     column_u,

     column_v

FROM

(txt, codepage is 932, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq);
