Writing list of dictionaries to CSV

[Kashif Rana]

Hello guys

thanks for the feedback. I think its problem with excel itself, showing wrong value. Because when I opened the csv file in text editor, I can see correct value but opening in excel showing wrong value. What I can do to see correct in excel as well.

Regards
