Because the XLSX2CSV program exists, it seemed that it was natural to create a csv2xlsx corollary when the underlying xlsx library grew the ability to write XLSX files.
Warning, this is old and largely unmaintained.
In order to build and install this program you’ll need the go toolchain. You can find this in the package management system of pretty much every Linux distro and in Homebrew for Mac. Failing that you can download and install it manually from here: https://go.dev/dl/
Once you have Go installed, you’ll need to either clone this repository:
git clone git@github.com:tealeg/csv2xlsx.git
… or download and extract a Zipped snapshot from the green “Code” button above.
From within the resulting `csv2xlsx` directory issue the following command to build the project:
go build -v .
If all goes well you shuould find the compiled binary csv2xlsx
has been created.
To run csv2xlsx
you must provide it with at least two parameters: an input file <f> and an output file <o>. For example:
./csv2xlsx -f=MyData.csv -o=MyData.xslx
If your input file uses a delimiter other than a comma then you must provide that as a third paramater, thus:
./csv2xlsx -f=MyData.csv -o=MyData.xslx -d=";"
