Hello I have a cvs that i manual convert to a xls file. I have created a SSIS package. I was wondering is there a script or tool that will automatic convert the cvs file to a xls file when i run the package. Other wise i will have to convert all the files manual to xls.

and what is the reason you don't import the data from the csv file directly?
and how do you convert it manually?

The reason is because the csv file they sent is mess up. When i orignally imported the cvs file it was out of wack for some reason. So i convert it to .xls and use vertical bar as the delimter and that fix the problem. I want to see if there was a script or tool that would do it automaic when i run the package just incase if they send another mess up cvs file. Other wise i would have to do that same process again
