Format Details
DTA
DTA is the native binary data file format for Stata, a statistical analysis package widely used in economics, epidemiology, and social science research. It stores complete datasets along with variable labels, value labels, missing value indicators, and display formats that preserve the full analytical context. DTA files can contain millions of observations and thousands of variables, making them suitable for large survey and panel datasets.
XLSX
XLSX is the default spreadsheet format for Microsoft Excel since Office 2007, built on the Open XML standard and standardized by ISO. It stores worksheets, formulas, charts, pivot tables, and formatting in a compressed ZIP archive of XML files, making it more compact and corruption-resistant than the older XLS format. XLSX is supported by Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, Apple Numbers, and virtually every modern data tool.
