#OXPS TO EXCEL WINDOWS#
This file type was introduced for the first time by making it part of Excel for Windows in 1987. XLS was created by Microsoft for use with Microsoft Excel and is also known as Binary Interchange File Format (BIFF). The latest versions still provide support for creating and reading XLS files, though XLSX is the first choice of use now.

The XLS file format was replaced with a more open and structured format, XLSX, with the release of Microsoft Excel 2007. Applications like Microsoft Excel lets you export workbook data to several different formats including PDF, CSV, XLSX, TXT, HTML, XPS, and several others. Data is stored and displayed to users in table format in worksheet and can span numeric values, text data, formulas, external data connections, images, and charts. File saved by Excel is known as Workbook where each workbook can have one or more worksheets. Such files can be created by Microsoft Excel as well as other similar spreadsheet programs such as OpenOffice Calc or Apple Numbers. Files with XLS extension represent Excel Binary File Format.
