Like has been said you can open csv native in excel, or if you actually want to do anything else with the data, better off not converting into .xls...a quote comes to mind: "this is a dead end". Keeping the data in text or at least database format allows for transformations/munging. Excel can provide..uhm..pie chart. Avoid Excel (especially) for any number work where dollar amounts (or jobs) are at stake, as it's the only (supposedly serious) spreadsheet that uses floating point math for calculations.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
