Replace Save As

Hi,

 

Is there any way to replace save as command. In my case I've multiple csv files and what I wanna do is just create the excel files from that csv files, with the same name. The format doesn't matter, it could be string. I just do not want to do the manual save as for 20 files.

 

Thanks,

You can use the Directory tool to get a list of your CSV file names.  I'm guessing the CSV files may have different fields?

 

Try the macro in this post, which imports Excel files with different layouts: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Input-multiple-sheets-from-one-excel-f...

 

Feed the list of CSV files into the macro.

Apparently all the csv files have just one sheet, with different fields as you said. The purpose of creating excel files is simple to create a back-up.  Anyway I'll try the macro you mentioned, and I'll get back with a feedback. 

 

Thanks Chris,
