No need to convert to csv. Parse the input file and write to excel file. Your excel file has specific/custom format, so I guess you need to write using package like openpyxl, just using pandas.DataFrame.to_excel() will not work for you.

you think it's tab-delimied, but use sep=";"? try with sep='\t' or let pandas engine to guess as suggested.

Hi buran,

I tried setting sep='\t' and it still didn't do the trick. I will work on your suggestion above. I haven't tried using openpyxl. So I need to use a combination of openpyxl and `pandas.DataFrame.to_excel()? Not sure how to set that up yet but I will work on that now and see what I can do.

Thanks,
Veronica
