Hi I'm not sure if you want to convert each sheet of those excel files into a separate CSV file or each excel file to a CSV or everything into a single CSV but nevertheless here is a Script Task in C# that will convert everything into a single CSV: string [] excelFilePaths = { Book1.xls  Book2.xls  Book3.xlsx }; var csvFile = new ExcelFile (); var csvSheet = csvFile.Worksheets.Add( Sheet ); int csvRowI = 0; foreach ( var ef in excelFilePaths.Select(path => ExcelFile .Load(path))) foreach ( var ws in ef.Worksheets) for ( int ri = 0; ri for ( int ci = 0; ci csvSheet.Cells[csvRowI ci].Value = ws.Cells[ri ci].GetFormattedValue(); csvFile.Save( Result.csv ); You need to add a reference to this Excel component for .NET and also as you can see it reads both Excel formats (older XLS and newer XLSX) in same manner in .NET .
