Thx Tom !! I still face some problems (saves an empty file as csv). Please
tell me if this macro is correct:

'My macro starts here
Sub MAKEXLS()
Dim sname As String
Dim XLSBHAVCOPY As Workbook
sname = Dir("D:\INVESTMENTS\CSV\*.csv")
Do While sname < ""
'Call Chip Pearson macro here
ImportTextFile sname, ";"
' save the a file as xls
Set XLSBHAVCOPY = Workbooks.Add()
With XLSBHAVCOPY
.SaveAs FILENAME:="d:\investments\xls\" & sname
.SaveAs FileFormat:=xlWorkbookNormal
.Close
End With
sname = Dir()
Loop

End Sub
'My macro ends above

'Chip Pearson code starts below
Public Sub ImportTextFile(FName As String, Sep As String)

Dim RowNdx As Integer
Dim ColNdx As Integer
Dim TempVal As Variant
Dim WholeLine As String
Dim Pos As Integer
Dim NextPos As Integer
Dim SaveColNdx As Integer

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'On Error GoTo EndMacro:

SaveColNdx = ActiveCell.Column
RowNdx = ActiveCell.Row

Open FName For Input Access Read As #1

While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, WholeLine
If Right(WholeLine, 1) < Sep Then
WholeLine = WholeLine & Sep
End If
ColNdx = SaveColNdx
Pos = 1
NextPos = InStr(Pos, WholeLine, Sep)
While NextPos = 1
TempVal = Mid(WholeLine, Pos, NextPos - Pos)
Cells(RowNdx, ColNdx).Value = TempVal
Pos = NextPos + 1
ColNdx = ColNdx + 1
NextPos = InStr(Pos, WholeLine, Sep)
Wend
RowNdx = RowNdx + 1
Wend

EndMacro:
On Error GoTo 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Close #1

End Sub
'Chip Pearson code ends above

See Chip Pearson's site for code that will read in a CSV file - you can
specify the delimiter:

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/imptext.htm import/export text files

You can loop through a directory with

sName = dir("C:\Myfiles\*.csv")
do while sName < ""
' call chips routine to open the file
' save the a file as xls
sName = Dir()
Loop

Can someone guide me how to write a macro that Loops through 'N' .CSV
files
in a desktop folder and saves them as .XLS files. It is important to
recognize the comma delimiter and throw the comma-separated individual
values
in different cells. If I use a normalExcel fileproperty then my xls file
has
all values in column A only.


TIA
