Hi Soumya,

Use the Move File Action available in File Management VBO.

Inputs

File Path: "C:\Template\ABC.xlsx"
Destination Path: "C:\Template\ABC.csv"

This will convert the .xlsx file to .csv 

If you want it to be stored in a different location then in the destination path give different directory "D:\Template\ABC.csv".

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for the solution.

When I try this solution. when Bot is reading Values through Get CSV as Collection Data is coming in improper format.
Any other solution except copy and move file is appreciated.

Hi Soumya,

You can achieve this by slightly modifying the existing SaveWorkbookAs action in Excel VBO. Please refer to the below thread.

Hi Soumya,

if you have oldeb installed in the machine then can you please try the below steps?

1. Get the xlsx data as collection using "Data.Oledb"
2. use "Get collection as CSV" action in Utility - Strings to convert the collection to csv text.
3. save the text to the csv file.

Hi @Athiban Mahamathi Mathialagan

In the machine there is no office installed 

To use oledb solution Office 365 is required

How can it be done without using oledb solution and without using excel actions
