it is possible.

Without vba you would use the DATA-Tab and import from text source.

With vba you could open the csv as a new Workbook:

Public Function openSource(fileToOpen As String) As Excel.Workbook
On Error GoTo err_exit

    Dim f As Object
    Dim fs As Object

    Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set openSource = Nothing

    If fs.fileexists(fileToOpen) Then
        Set f = fs.GetFile(fileToOpen)

        Set openSource = ThisWorkbook.Application.Workbooks.Open( _
            FileName:=f.path, _
            UpdateLinks:=2, _
            ReadOnly:=True, _
            AddToMRu:=False, _
            Notify:=False)

        Windows(openSource.Name).Visible = False
    End If
    Exit Function
err_exit:
    'throwErrMsg "Failed to read File!", "openSource"
    If Not openSource Is Nothing Then
        openSource.Close SaveChanges:=False, RouteWorkbook:=False
    End If
End Function

Dim CSVWorkbook As New Excel.Workbook
Set CSVWorkbook = openSource(c:\SO2PO.csv)

Now you can navigate through this workbook like any other and copy rows, cols or a whole worksheet ;) hope this helps.

Another way would be to use the import from text in vba version, but i don't have an example right away.
