Description:
This bug occurs on the brazilian version of Excel 2013, with MySQL for Excel 1.3.6.
When exporting data to a new table, i get column count error (MySQL Error 1136).
However, if i uncheck the "First Row Contains Columns Names" checkbox, the data is exported successfully.
From what i learned, the cause is the decimal separator used in my region.
When previewing the SQL Query, the values are not enclosed with ' when the "First Row Contains Columns Names" is checked.

How to repeat:
Using the brazilian version of Excel 2013, select the data you want exported, click on the "Export Data to a New Table" button, make sure you leave the "First Row Contains Columns Names" checkbox marked, and then click Export Data.

Suggested fix:
Enclose the values with ', when the "First Row Contains Columns Names" checkbox is marked.

Hello Hugo Costa,

Thank you for the bug report.
I tried to reproduce the issue at my end using MS Excel 2013, Windows 8.1,  MySQL for Excel 1.3.6 but not seeing any issues with exporting data.
Could you please provide repeatable test case (sample excel data etc. - please make it as private if you prefer) to confirm this issue at our end?

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.
