In Advanced settings the "CSV separator" is set to "backquote".  
And it works in the  
`Visualize -> "Export: Formatted".`  
When i trying to export search results in the  
`Discovery -> Share -> CSV Reports`  
the format of the "timestamp" field is default and csv separator (",") is also default.  
With default settings the excel is unable to easy transform "text to colums" because default timestamp format includes ",".

I've tried change the CSV separator with different values, i've make several updates of the ELK stack from 7.6 to the 7.7 and the 7.8 but the problem had remain.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  
Best regards,  
Sergey
