Ex, 'x, y' in one cell. X and y will be different values for every row, that is why I cannot do "x, y" to write a comma.

What I have tried:

CSV stands for Comma Separated Values - it means that a comma separate two values, so 1,56 will be interpreted as two values (two cells)...
As it stated in CSV definition:

Quote:
6. Fields containing line breaks (CRLF), double quotes, and commas
should be enclosed in double-quotes. For example:

"aaa","b CRLF
bb","ccc" CRLF
zzz,yyy,xxx
