Microsoft Excel Workspace (.xlw)

The XLW file extension stands for Microsoft Excel Workspace, a format used by Microsoft Excel to save the screen locations of multiple open workbooks, allowing users to restore their layout upon reopening. Introduced in earlier versions of Excel, this feature was discontinued from Excel 2013 onwards, though existing XLW files can still be opened. The primary use of XLW files was to enhance productivity by maintaining an organized workspace with multiple workbooks.

OpenDocument Flat XML Spreadsheet (.fods)

The FODS (OpenDocument Flat XML Spreadsheet) file extension, developed by Oracle, is used for storing spreadsheet data in a plain XML format, making it more human-readable and easier to generate automatically without a spreadsheet editor. Unlike the more common ODS format, which uses a ZIP container, FODS files are not supported by Microsoft Excel but can be opened with OpenOffice Calc. This format was introduced as part of the ODF 1.2 specifications by OASIS.
