Java Converting specific Excel file tabs to CSV in Python
Hi list,

This is probably something really simple, but I am not particularly familiar with Python so I thought I would ask as I know that python has an excel module.

I have an excel document with multiple tabs of data and graphs.
One of the tabs is just data which I require to have dumped to a csv file.
So what I want to do is process the excel document and output the 4th tab of excel data to a raw CSV file.

Does anyone have a recipe for this?

Any help much appreciated..

Thanks,
land
