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.
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.
