For some reason OP is now continuing the conversation with my by email 
and adding me to his social networks.

To the OP - observation - in the original post you said .xls file, 
not .csv file. If your data is in .csv format, you should have said so, 
not called it an .xls file.

If you ant to convert your .csv containing columns a, b and c into a .csv 
containing columns a, b, c, x, y and z, then the solution is to read your 
existing .csv file one line at a time, calculate the extra values x, y 
and z, and then write the 6 values to a new file.

You might want to delete the old file and rename the new one to the old 
name when you finish, that might be part of the implementation 
requirements.
