What is a XLS file?

Firstly, this XLS stands for an excel spreadsheet that created by Microsoft.
This file is an older version of the spreadsheet format i.e., excel 2003. The files contain one or more worksheets having data stored in cells with a table format. Since it is an excel file, it also includes rows and columns that can be formatted with the help of different alphabetical styles and colors; you can highlight the important stuff or the central cell too. The data can also be added by using different cells’ data and some mathematical functions. XLS files are used in offices relating to finance or in academics. These XLS files are saved in binary format, which was the earlier format of XLS. However, nowadays, these excel files are saved in XML format as XLSX files used in Excel 2007. Last but not least, the size of the file is limited by the available memory and the system’s resources.
