I can get only the EVT file. I guess i will have to convert it into excel or csv (every new file after 16000 rows) to solve this problem.

Maybe you can convince the person exporting the event log to a file to export it to csv (tab or comma delimited). The event logs can easily be exported like this because it is a build in option when saving the event log to a file.
