Hive's delimited-fields-format record reader does not handle quoted text that carry the same delimiter within them. Excel supports such records, so it reads it fine.
You will need to create your table with a custom InputFormat class that can handle this (Try using OpenCSV readers, they support this), instead of relying on Hive to do this for you. If you're successful in your approach, please also consider contributing something back to Hive/Pig to help others.
