Perhaps you don't mean CVS, but CSV (Comma Separated Variables)?

Yours is another of those posts which expects a certain clairvoyant ability
from readers of this group. You say "I could not able to", but if you want
us to help, you will have to give us a better idea of what the failure
symptoms are. What error message are you receiving? Did it produce a CSV
file? If so, did you look at the CSV text tile with a text editor (such as
Notepad) to see what was in it? If so, how did the contents differ from
what you were expecting?

Hi David

Thanks for your reply.

My question is

My Excel data file to convert Text CSV(,), I did following step: -
Save as - change file type to CSV (Comma delimited) and save. I
could not able to save as text file with comma. Only can save as Excel file
with column. I tried to copy & paste on notepad. I could able to copy with
space instead of comma. Pls help me to advise.

Thanks
JOHN

Try saving as CSV(MS-DOS). This saves a file with the "," delimiter.

Let me ask again the questions you didn't answer:

You saved as CSV. Did you get an error message?
Did the save produce a CSV file?
Did you look in the CSV file *with Notepad* (*not* with Excel) to see what
was in the file?
If so, what was the difference between what was in the file and what you
expected?
