Data Loader Extraction Issue
Hey Everyone,
I'm trying to extract information via the Data Loader for a trailhead exercise. I've downloaded the application, and attempted to run the steps provided:
The next step is to select the Account object, rename the file to be extracted and save it to your desktop. Note: All file names default to extract.csv. Renaming files prevents losing or overwriting them.
From the Select Salesforce Object list, select Account (Account).
In the Choose a target for extraction text box, enter Accounts Export.csv.
Click Browse…
Navigate to the desktop, click Save, then click Next.
Now create the necessary SOQL query.
Choose the query fields below:
Id
Name
Site
To complete the where clause to your query, type (or copy and paste) WHERE Type LIKE '%Customer%' in the text box so your query looks like this:
Select Id, Name, Site FROM Account WHERE Type LIKE '%Customer%'
Click Finish, then click Yes. The Operation Finished window appears, reporting the number of successful extractions. Note: The resulting export file should contain 11 records.
I get this message as a result:
Can anyone provide some insight into how to fix this issue or how to proceed?
Thanks for any help you could provide!

did you try using " "
Select Id, Name, Site FROM Account WHERE Type LIKE "%Customer%"
also you can use workbanch that will work perfact
Thanks for your reply, I did try using " " with no success. I will look into Workbench, thank you for the suggestion.
I found out the issue - the smart quote feature was enabled on my mac & kept correcting it to a slanted quote instead of a straight quote so it wouldn't load. Very small detail that I missed, but because of your comment I was able to do research into the issue and fix it. You're the best!
