How to batch convert multiple CSV files to XLS(X) files in Excel?

To convert a CSV file to XlS or XLSX file is very easy for you by applying the Save As feature. However, to convert multiple CSV files to XLS or XLSX files from a folder is time-consuming by saving one by one manually. Here I introduce a macro code to quickly batch convert all CSV files to XLS(x) files from a folder.

Note: Make sure all CSV files you want to convert are closed.

Sub CSVtoXLS()

    Dim xFd As FileDialog
    Dim xSPath As String
    Dim xCSVFile As String
    Dim xWsheet As String
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Application.StatusBar = True
    xWsheet = ActiveWorkbook.Name
    Set xFd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
    xFd.Title = "Select a folder:"
    If xFd.Show = -1 Then
        xSPath = xFd.SelectedItems(1)
    Else
        Exit Sub
    End If
    If Right(xSPath, 1) <> "\" Then xSPath = xSPath + "\"
    xCSVFile = Dir(xSPath & "*.csv")
    Do While xCSVFile <> ""
        Application.StatusBar = "Converting: " & xCSVFile
        Workbooks.Open Filename:=xSPath & xCSVFile
        ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Replace(xSPath & xCSVFile, ".csv", ".xls", vbTextCompare), xlNormal
        ActiveWorkbook.Close
        Windows(xWsheet).Activate
        xCSVFile = Dir
    Loop
    Application.StatusBar = False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

3. In the popping out dialog, select the specified folder containing the CSV files you want to convert. See screenshot:

4. Click OK, all the CSV files in the selected folder have been converted to XLS files in it.
