Hi,

I am trying to convert huge CSV files to XLSX files, but sometimes XLSX files need to be split into a specific size.
I feel that this is not currently possible, unless I missed something.

Kind regards,
Evangelos

You can either decide to split the CSV data into separate xlsx files or, what people do more commonly, to split the data over several worksheets in the same workbook.

Either way it is something that will need to be handled in the application/program level. Libxlsxwriter doesn't provide that functionality.
