To convert multiple CSV files from one folder to XLS(X) files, you can do as below steps:
1. Enable a new workbook, press Alt + F11 keys to open Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, and click Insert > Module. See screenshot:
Note: Make sure all CSV files you want to convert are closed.
2. Then paste below macro code to the Module script, and press F5 key to run the code.

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.
Tip: If you want to convert CSV files to XLSX files, you use below VBA code.

· 1 months agoHi, viper, after conversion, you can format them back, select the dates and right click to choose Format Cells from context menu, in the Format Celld dialog, under Number tab, click Custom in the Category list, then type mm-dd-yyyy into the textbox in right section. Or if you have Kutools for Excel, applying the Apply Date Formatting to change the date format as you need.
