What is the difference between xls and xlsx?



What is the difference between xls and xlsx?..

Answer / Dipendra Kumar

Microsoft Excel uses XLS (Binary Workbook) for older files, while XLSX (Open XML Spreadsheet) is used for newer files. The main differences are that XLSX format uses a more modern compression method (ZIP), allows larger file sizes, and supports advanced features like conditional formatting, pivot tables, and macros, whereas XLS format has limitations in these areas.
