Hello, Jack,
Thank you for your interest in Flexmonster Pivot!
In case the data source contains asterisks for fields separators, like in the following example,

d*s
2*3

such field separator should be specified when compressing the data. For example, Data Compressor for PHP has a compressFile method for compressing the data from files:

Compressor::compressFile("data.csv");

If data.csv has asterisks for fields separators, "*" should be passed as a second argument to the compressFile method:

Compressor::compressFile("data.csv", "*");

The same goes for Data Compressors for other technologies. Please let me know if it helps.
Regards,
Tanya
