XLSX at a glance

XLSX

Convert to XLSX when recipients need an editable spreadsheet rather than a flat data export.

It is appropriate for financial models, reporting packs, planning templates, reconciliations, inventory sheets, and business deliverables where formulas, formatting, or multiple worksheets must survive.

It is the practical target for spreadsheet collaboration inside office-centric organizations.
