Question : Convert Excel file with multiple worksheets to multiple csv files

Hi all

I have excel files with a varying amount of worksheets.  Each worksheet has a unique name associated with it.  Is it possible to extract each of the worksheets out of excel and convert them to individual CSV files?.  Ideally the name of each CSV file would be the name of the worksheet.

If possible I'd like to use vbscript or powershell or some other laguage (I'm open to suggestions). I'd prefer not to use macros.

Ideally the script/program would be located on a server that would process the Excel file.  Excel would not be installed on the server.  However if this was a stumbling block the script/program could be run from my laptop where excel is installed.

Thanks for your time.

Mike

Answer : Convert Excel file with multiple worksheets to multiple csv files

Hi Izattafact,

dashboard parts are independent beasties and don't talk to eachother they way you're describing (that I've seen anyway), at least not without some kind of add-on.

The only native way I can think of to achieve something approaching what you're after is to create yourself distributed applications, or even just performance views,  each representing one of your "servers".  

With the distributed apps, you can look at them / create views for them and alert on them independently, also setting yourself up a view of multiple distributed applications to get your "single picture of the world" scenario in place.  This would give you you something along the lines of a traffic light view that you could open using the web console (with a url targetting a particular view you've created).  

The unfortunate thing is that there is very little out there on how to go about creating good distributed applications and the two videos that used to be up on the MS site now seem to have been moved somewhere you can't get at them anymore (gotta love site redesigns!).

These aren't quite what you're after but you may be able to shape parts of them into something to meet your needs:

the Visio 2010 for SCOM 2007 R2 add-in looks like it would be a nice visual way to monitor distributed apps amongst other things  http://visiotoolbox.com/downloads/addins/Visio_2010_Add-in_for_System_Center_Operations_Manager_2007_R2_961.aspx in pretty dynamic views you can publish to sharepoint

There's also a company called savision that do a mapping product that sits on top of Opsmgr and gives you live "maps" of your environment but I'm thinking it sounds pretty close to what the visio add-on does http://www.savision.com/solution

I'm sorry but that's about the extent of the assistance I can give you with this, other Experts may be able to add more suggestions.

Good Luck!
