I've converted csv to xls files using Excel for years. It works the same two
ways I've always used. 1st method is open the csv but then use 'Save as...'
to make the xls file. 2nd method is using the text import tool into a native
xls file. I found this is needed for some csv files that have special
encoding due to things like imbedded commas and stuff that muck up MS idea
for csv files.
I've been using 2016 for a while and it still works for conversions.
