Hi @Miya

First you need to have your CSV file as collection. For this ​use the VBO "Utility - File Management" and the action "Get CSV Text As Collection". This returns you a Collection with the same format as your text file.

Then, you can use the "MS Excel VBO" to write the new collection inside an Excel. Use the action "Write Collection" for this.

Work with excel sometimes turn hard, here is a video of how to write collection in BP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaBOowkhQo4

Also, you can use the Action "Import CSV" from the "MS Excel VBO" VBO. The process is similar than the video


Hope this helps you! And if this solves the problem, remember mark as the best answer 🙂

See you in the Community, bye 😄
