Hey bequest, 

It sounds like when the API returns the data to Excel, there's a string formatting error. You can fix this in your excel by either using search > replace all in excel and just replace the quotes with nothing or you can add a new column next to your text column with the following formula: 
 

=SUBSTITUTE(A2, CHAR(34), “”)
