Format Details
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.
CSV
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain-text tabular data format that uses commas to delimit column values and line breaks to separate rows. It is one of the most universally supported data interchange formats, readable by any spreadsheet application, database, or programming language. CSV is ideal for exporting and importing data between different systems due to its simplicity, human readability, and near-universal compatibility.
