This neat little tool is part of the Microsoft Office Suite and contains all the tools that you will ever need to create and manage spreadsheets that you can later use in databases. Of course, it doesn’t matter how popular a program is, it is impossible for everyone to know everything about it. That is why there are still plenty of users out there that don’t know what are the supported file formats that Microsoft Excel can handle.
What file types can Microsoft Excel handle?
1. Excel file formats
Excel has several proprietary file formats that stem from the various spreadsheet types it can create. Additionally, new formats appeared as newer and newer versions of Excel were launched.
2. Text file formats
As you know, you cannot create a spreadsheet without any text, so Excel is designed to handle several very popular text files types.
3. Other file formats
Microsoft Excel is made to handle other popular file formats as well. PDFs can be opened and placed within a spreadsheet. Additionally, a lot of times you may want to print your spreadsheet, so XPS files are also supported.
