RE: [sqr-users] CSV To XLS

[Bob Stone <bstone@fastenal.com>]

CSV files open in Excel.  You can name your csv output file '.xls' if you
want, and it will open as Excel opens the CSV file. There are certain
formatting things in Excel which cannot be set when outputting as a CSV,
though.  I believe Jeff Steinfeldt has a snipet of VB code he runs that can
run some formatting, but I believe it needs to be run on a CSV file in order
to do the formatting.  You can run that in your SQR after you're done
outputting to csv.  

In unix we write: 
      call system using $command #unix_status   
      if #unix_status <> 0
        show 'Error sending e-mail to: ' &email_address
      end-if 

where $command is the line that would say 'run the conversion script on the
csv to output the xls' and #unix_status is the output line.

For whatever formatting you need to do, you can figure out the code for it
by starting an excel macro, then doing your formatting.  The code Excel uses
for the macro is VB, and recreateable.

I'm looking to convert a csv output file to xls file in sqr or by using a
command line utility. Does anyone know or have experience using a csv to xls
command line utility that could perform this task?
