I have a google document spreadsheet that I want to export as csv. The problem is, that some cell get their content included on quotation marks:

1,1,"I don't want quote",Mee too but I'm lucky,1

To avoid this issue, I usually re-edit the field on google document until the export excludes the quotation marks (I don't know why or when they are included).

I've tried with format but apparently it doesn't help. What should I do?
