Convert WKS to XLSX (Excel)
Convert WKS spreadsheet documents to XLSX (Excel) format, edit and optimize documents online and free.
The WKS file extension represents Microsoft Works Spreadsheet, a part of the Microsoft Works suite. First introduced in 1987, Works was designed as a streamlined, affordable alternative to Microsoft Office. The WKS format specifically handled spreadsheet data, facilitating tasks such as budgeting, data analysis, and inventory management. Despite its simplicity, it enabled users to perform essential functions like data sorting, basic calculations, and charting. Over time, Microsoft phased out Works in favor of the more advanced Office suite, yet WKS files remain a legacy format, occasionally encountered in archival data and older systems.
The XLSX file extension, standing for "Excel Spreadsheet", represents a widely used format for Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Introduced in Excel 2007, XLSX replaced the older XLS format, utilizing the Office Open XML (OOXML) standard to store data more efficiently and reduce file size. It supports advanced features such as pivot tables, charts, formulas, and macros, essential for data analysis and reporting in various professional settings. The transition to XLSX provided enhanced security, improved data recovery, and greater compatibility with other software applications, solidifying its status as a pivotal tool in data management and business intelligence.
