# Disable Submission date in CSV export file

 * Hello,
   The csv submission file exported can’t be used because commas are used
   as separator, and commas are also used for “submission date” field (ex: Dec 21,
   2022 @ 2:52).
 * Is there a way to replace the comma by semicolon as field separator? Or simply
   a way to not export the submission date?
   Thanks.

 * Hi [@altano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/altano/),
 * I hope you are doing well today!
 * There is no quick workaround that we can provide for using different characters
   as separator instead of comma at the moment. However, we have an improvement 
   task for the feature in plugin which will be considered and released on the upcoming
   versions.
 * Kind regards,

 * But is there a way to not export the submission date in the CSV file???
   Because
   right now, the file is simply useless and without a fix I will have to use another
   plugin.

 * Really disappointed that you just can’t fix a bug regarding a native feature (
   and I’m not the only only to complain about it). You should remove the CSV export
   in your next update, since the file is useless and you don’t seem interested 
   in fixing it…

 * Hi [@altano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/altano/),
 * Sorry to hear about the issue noticed, however, please do note that the current
   workflow you notice is more of a default behaviour and not a bug. We’ll be looking
   to add more features to improve the workflow regarding this down the roadmap.
 * In the meanwhile, as a workaround instead of using the CSV export, you could 
   add an integration to Google Sheets. The submissions to Google sheets won’t have
   the submission date unless you manually add a date field.
 * Could you please check and see whether using Google sheets as a workaround helps
   regarding this?
 * Please check this doc for more info about its integration:
