Microsoft Excel Binary File Format

Extension	.xls
Category	🔵 documents
Programs	🔵 Microsoft Office 🔵 LibreOffice 🔵 Kingsoft Office 🔵 Google Docs
Main program	🔵 Microsoft Office
Description	🔵 The .xls format is the default file format for spreadsheets created in Microsoft Excel, particularly in versions before Excel 2007. This binary file format can store data in cells organized in rows and columns, and it supports formulas, charts, graphs, and various formatting features to manipulate and visualize data. The .xls format was commonly used in business, finance, and any field requiring data analysis and presentation, but has since been largely replaced by the more advanced .xlsx format.
Technical details	🔵 The `.xls` format, primarily used for Microsoft Excel versions before 2007, stores spreadsheet elements such as worksheets, formulas, and macros. Being a proprietary binary format created by Microsoft, its undocumented internal structure has made compatibility with third-party software quite challenging. This format consists of binary records that contain data, formatting, and embedded objects, allowing for multiple worksheets, various functions, and inter-sheet referencing. `.xls` files can also include Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros, which enable automation and complex calculations. While supported in applications like OpenOffice Calc, there are options available to convert between `.xls` and other formats such as `.xlsx`. Despite security concerns related to macros, `.xls` is still commonly used due to its compatibility with older Excel versions and legacy systems. However, the newer `.xlsx` format, introduced in Office 2007 and utilizing XML and ZIP technologies, offers improved efficiency and security features.

Numbers Spreadsheet File

Extension	.numbers
Category	🔵 documents
Programs	🔵 Apple Numbers
Main program	🔵 Apple iWork
Description	🔵 Files with the .numbers extension can only be created using the Apple Mac Numbers spreadsheet program. The Numbers program, part of the Mac OS X iWork suite, is equivalent to Microsoft Excel in the Windows Office Suite. Users can create spreadsheets, tables, and utilize advanced formulas for data calculations. NUMBERS spreadsheets can also include graphs, tables, images, and various media types. While Numbers files are similar to Microsoft Excel files in many ways, they cannot be opened in Excel or LibreOffice Calc due to their proprietary and unique structures. Important note: Translate the text as if it were written by a native English speaker, taking into account all speech and language nuances when preparing the final text.
Technical details	🔵 A .numbers file is a compressed ZIP file that contains various types of files combined to create a NUMBERS file. The specific types of files included in a .numbers file depend on the media type represented in the spreadsheet. The most recent version of Apple Inc.'s Numbers program saves spreadsheets with a file folder that includes the proprietary IWA format, .plist files, and .jpg screenshots for document previews. Similar to other proprietary Office programs such as Microsoft Office, the .numbers spreadsheet file type lacks compatibility with popular spreadsheet programs.
