    Hi Andras,
    Thanks for your help.
    Regarding the use of a semicolon instead of a comma, this did not work as the Events calendars import routine obviously cannot identify semicolons as separators.
    Finally I made it by processing the data as follows:
    First, I exchanged the commas between the keywords with a dummy like for example [///].
    Second, I added a row before and after the row containing the keywords and filled the fields with a different dummy for each row as for example [HHHH] and [KKKK].
    It´s important to have 3 different dummies to be able to exchange the right data sections later on.
    Third, I saved the Excel file as CSV file and opened the csv file in an editor.
    Then, I exchange all semicolons with commas, all [,HHHH,] with [,”] and all [,KKKK,] with [”,] and last but not least all [///] with [,].
    That finally worked proper.
    Thanks again for your support and greetings from Munich,

    Uwe

    PS: For all the search/replace work I only used the content in-between the square brackets.
