Create Excel File from a CSV File

Posted on 25 Feb 2021 16:05:05 by 116

I am looking to create several excel files from several CSV Files that my company sends me each day.  Just a one-to-one file creation.  I have searched thru the forums, but I think they get more complicated than I really need.  

 

The files are dropped into a specific folder in dropbox.  If the flow can be made that it simply creates the file in the same folder on dropbox, I can work with that.  Or if it needs to be put into a different folder, then I can work with that.  

 

I guess I may be reading too much into the different options that are offered, and not understanding.

 

Thank you for your help.

    Hi @Chipper 

     

    Thank you for posting.

     

    According to your description, you would like to convert CSV to excel. If I misunderstood, please kindly let me know.

     

    Unfortunately, it’s currently impossible to achieve it if we use O365 internal connectors from our official articles. However, if you want, you can use Plumsail Documents connector to parse CSV as a workaround. This is a 3rd party tool focus on document processing especially in file conversion.

    You can now try automatically converting most CSVs to a new Excel table with the same column names as the CSV headers with this template:
