Please change the code : Code: foreach($characteristicsColumns as $characteristic){ echo '"'.@$characteristics[$characteristic].'"'.$separator; } by the code: Code: $chars = array(); foreach($characteristicsColumns as $characteristic){ $chars[] = '"'.@$characteristics[$characteristic].'"'; } echo implode($separator,$chars); in the file "export" of the view "product" via the menu Display->Views and export again. That should solve the problem.
