Hi,

VB

oWB.SaveAs(Filename:="C:\target\Testxls", FileFormat:=Excel.XlFileFormat.xlCSV)

This is how I save the Excel file I created, but when I checked the file, the formatting is ruined? :(

How can I avoid it?

Thanks.

You are specifying Comma Separated Value format in the SaveAs method. This format cannot store the format information of excel file. You can choose one of the formats, which suits your requirement, from the list given here
