An SLK file, standing for Symbolic Link File, is a specialized file type used primarily in spreadsheet applications to facilitate data exchange. Originally introduced by Microsoft for its Multiplan spreadsheet program in the 1980s, the SLK format was later adopted by other spreadsheet software due to its simplicity and efficiency. These files are composed of ASCII text and include symbolic references to cells, allowing for easy parsing and manipulation of spreadsheet data. The primary use of SLK files is to enable seamless data transfer between different spreadsheet programs, ensuring compatibility and preserving the integrity of the data during exchange.
The XLS file extension, short for "Excel Spreadsheet", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Excel for storing spreadsheet data. Introduced with Excel 2.0 in 1987, it was the primary format until the introduction of XLSX in 2007. XLS files contain data organized in rows and columns, supporting formulas, macros, and various formatting options, making them essential for data analysis and financial reporting. Despite being replaced by the more robust and secure XLSX format, XLS files remain widely used in many legacy systems and applications.
