Python program to convert excel file to csv with particular columns

Python Excel to CSV Converter

This is a Python script that converts specific columns from an Excel file to a CSV file.

Requirements

• Python 3
• openpyxl library (install using pip install openpyxl)

Usage

1. Ensure that your Excel file is in the same directory as the script.
2. Modify the input_file variable in the script to specify the name of your input Excel file.
3. Update the column_names list in the script to include the names of the columns you want to extract.
4. Run the script using python csv-converter.py .
5. The extracted column data will be saved to a CSV file named "output.csv" in the same directory.
6. Run the csv output using python output-view.py.

Example

Suppose you have an Excel file named "input.xlsx" with the following columns:

Name	Age	Location
Thens	19	USA
Kesavan	23	UK
Pradeep	50	UAE

To extract the "Name" and "Location" columns, update the column_names list as follows:

column_names = ['Name', 'Location']
Name,Location
Thens,USA
Kesavan,UK
Pradeep,UAE
