Need to convert a bunch of files from .csv to .xls? or merge a bunch of sheets in different workbooks into one workbook? You can do all of this and more with Convert XLS by Softinterface. I was at work last week trying to find a script or something to automatically merge a bunch of .csv files into one spreadsheet and I found this little jewel.

Not only can you convert files with Convert XLS, but you can delete rows or columns from multiple files, print files, run macros, and so much more. And you can set up a list of stuff for the program to do in sequence. Let's say you want to convert some files, delete a row in those documents and then merge them. Just setup the steps and hit run. It's not quite that easy, but with trial and error, it works really well. You can also save your list of steps to use them later, which could be really handy if you have to do this kind of stuff all the time. The company also has some other utilities for Word and PDF's, but I haven't tried them yet.

The program is free, but you have the option to buy it. I haven't run into any limitations yet, so I think it's more of a donation-type thing. I guess I feel a little guilty using it without paying for it, but it's probably not gonna stop me from using it.
