The XLM file extension stands for "Excel Macro", a format used in early versions of Microsoft Excel to store macro instructions. Introduced with Excel 4.0 in the early 1990s, XLM files enabled automation of repetitive tasks by recording sequences of actions performed within the spreadsheet. They were pivotal in the evolution of Excel's macro capabilities, which later transitioned to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). While XLM is largely obsolete now, understanding its role is crucial for grasping the history of Excel's automation features.
The DBF file extension, standing for Database File, is a widely recognized format used primarily for database management. Originating from the dBASE database management system in the early 1980s, DBF files store structured data in tabular form, facilitating efficient data retrieval and manipulation. This format gained popularity due to its compatibility with various database applications and programming languages, making it a standard choice for data storage and interchange in the professional IT environment. The DBF format remains relevant for legacy systems and applications requiring reliable data organization and accessibility.
