yes. i need to send this report excel sheet to outside group of people.
i tried this. still when i open the excel still it is showing default column widht.
that is why i need some thing with awk command script before send the e-mail.
i tried this script some one provided in this form.
after i run the script the report is blank.
awk 'BEGIN{
FS=","
print "<HTML><BODY><TABLE>"
}
{
printf "<TR>"
for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
printf "<TD>%s</TD>", $i
print "</TR>"
}
END{
print "</TABLE></BODY></HTML>"
}
'Report.csv > Report11.xls

the only solution is i think some thing i need to do with unix commands format.

Not sure why you can't get the previously posted code to work.
Here's what happens when I run it, with your latest csv file, at the ksh prompt...
Code:
$ cat report.csv
SALES DAILY REPORT
DATE: 06-26-2007
REPORT NAME: SALES DATA

AA.BB.CCCC.DDDD,BBBBB,06-26-2007,0,BEGIN,END
ZZ.VV.DDDD.XXXXXXX,MMMMMM,06-25-2007,18,BEGIN,END
CC.XX.VVV.QQ,KKKKK,06-24-2007,END,BEGIN

$ awk 'BEGIN{
        FS=","
        print "<HTML><BODY><TABLE border=1>"
     }
     {
        printf "<TR>"
        for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
          printf "<TD>%s</TD>", $i
        print "</TR>"
     }
     END{
        print "</TABLE></BODY></HTML>"
     }
     ' report.csv > report.xls

$ cat report.xls
<HTML><BODY><TABLE border=1>
<TR><TD>SALES DAILY REPORT</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>DATE: 06-26-2007 </TD></TR>
<TR><TD>REPORT NAME: SALES DATA</TD></TR>
<TR></TR>
<TR><TD>AA.BB.CCCC.DDDD</TD><TD>BBBBB</TD><TD>06-26-2007</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>BEGIN</TD><TD>END</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>ZZ.VV.DDDD.XXXXXXX</TD><TD>MMMMMM</TD><TD>06-25-2007</TD><TD>18</TD><TD>BEGIN</TD><TD>END</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>CC.XX.VVV.QQ</TD><TD>KKKKK</TD><TD>06-24-2007</TD><TD>END</TD><TD>BEGIN</TD></TR>
</TABLE></BODY></HTML>

Hi Ygor,
Small clarification.
In the other report
i have first column length is 45 postions.
When i run this above scirpt, first column after 27 positions it wrapped
into next line.rest of the columns are coming is ok. rest of column are not that
big. why it wrapped into 2 lines insated of showing into single line in excel.
why it is not coming into single line.
how can i increse first column length only.
Thanks,
N.

The code that I posted would not have caused the line to wrap. Perhaps try looking at the input file to see if it is already wrapped.
