Hi Betty,
From your description, you have an existing CSV file and you want to
extract some part of the CSV file out and export them into excel file,
correct?
Are you wantting to do it programmtically or just want to do such an
transformation and not necessary to use code? Based on my experience,

If this need to be done programmtically, a common approach is read the csv
file via OLD db provider(jet engine) and access the data like a database
table. However, I think it maybe a bit hard to export it exactly as excel
format, btw, excel can directly convert csv format, will it work for your
case.

Also, are you going to do this converting in ASP web page? If not, for
normal desktop applicatin, we can use excel automation object model to
create excel worksheet:

Subject: save a flat export data file as an excel file
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:24:01 -0700
>
Hi all,
I have a question for you.
I have a .csv file which has many lines of data.
Each line has many data fields which are delimited by ",".
Now I need to extract part of data from this file but save it as an excel
file.
The data in this excel file will be imported into an Access database. The
reason I have to save it into an excel file is Access program only accept
excel data file, but not flat text file.
Can you tell me how to save extracted data into an excel file?
Thanks.
