I need to add formulas to a CSV file that already exists. Is this possible to do this using VB.Net?
The idea is I already have a CSV file and I need one column to be populated in each cell with a custom formula. This has to be done programmatically because these files are being created dynamically.
Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

CSV – a comma-separated values file. AKA Character Separated Values, or Comma Delimited file. CSV files differ from traditional spreadsheet programs because you can only have a single sheet without the saved cell, column, or row values. You also can't save formulas into a CSV file.
In Excel 365, Excel 2021, Excel 2019 and Excel 2016, you can import data from a text file by connecting to it with the help of Power Query. Here's how: On the Data tab, in the Get & Transform Data group, click From Text/CSV. In the Import Data dialog box, select the text file of interest, and click Import.
csv. They differ from other spreadsheet file types in that you can only have a single sheet in a file, they cannot save cell, column, or row styling, and cannot save formulas.

Surprised me when I tried it, but Excel will keep the formula.
You can even export formulas into a CSV by first displaying them on screen. (Ctrl-`)
