However, this wasn't a huge inconvenience, especially since the test files all went to their intended destinations and kept all their data. We expected the conversion to happen instantly, but it actually took almost a minute. We enjoyed the freedom to choose single files, multiple files, or entire folders for conversion. We liked that XLS files were converted to XLSX files and vice versa, with no opportunities to change this process. The program avoided the pitfalls of other converters by not allowing us multiple options for conversion. It was so basic-only containing a few commands-that we found experimenting for a few seconds was more helpful than reading the instructional Help file. The program's interface struck us as drastically different from other converters we'd tested. The program's layout is basic enough for any skill level to have success with. As well as with Microsoft Excel, XLSX files can be opened using various other programs, including Google Sheets, LibreOffice, and Apple Numbers.Batch XLSX to XLS Converter provides a simple tool for converting Excel file types. This also means that XLSX files can present larger data sets and have a greater range of cells. Whereas XLS files hold data in a single file, XLSX saves data in the Open XML format, with separate files zipped up together to reduce space.

The main difference between XLSX and XLS is in how the data is stored. XLSX files are very similar in their functionality to their predecessor, XLS they can be used to create spreadsheets, charts and graphs, process mathematical formulae, and to share or analyse data. XLSX was developed by Microsoft as part of their Office 2007 development and is now the default file format for Excel. This file format is a zipped Open XML-based file type, meaning it compresses or reduces the file size so that it can access stored data faster and be easily shared with other programs.

XLSX is a file type created using Microsoft Excel - part of the Microsoft Office Suite software.
