“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
This is one of the most frustrating HubSpot CSV import bugs. When semicolons separate multiple checkbox values within a cell, HubSpot’s parser incorrectly interprets them as column delimiters, breaking the entire import structure.
Here’s how to eliminate this parsing error completely by using direct API integration instead of CSV files.
Bypass CSV parsing entirely using Coefficient
Coefficientcompletely eliminates this parsing error by using direct API integration instead of CSV files. You can keep your data in Google Sheets or Excel with natural formatting and use any delimiter you prefer – Coefficient handles the conversion automatically.
How to make it work
Step 1. Keep your data in your preferred spreadsheet format.
Use commas, semicolons, or any delimiter you prefer in cells. For example, your spreadsheet cell can contain “Option A; Option B; Option C” without any formatting concerns.
Step 2. Configure an export to HubSpot through Coefficient’s interface.

Step 3. Send properly formatted data directly to HubSpot’s API.
Coefficient bypasses CSV parsing entirely, sending data directly through HubSpot’s API. No CSV file generation means no delimiter conflicts or parsing errors.
Step 4. Schedule regular syncs and use formulas for dynamic selections.
Set up automated syncs to keep checkbox values updated and use spreadsheet formulas to dynamically build checkbox selections. Maintain your spreadsheet as the source of truth while avoiding all CSV-related formatting issues.
