Convert MP to XLSX (Excel)

MP stands for Multiplan, associated with Microsoft Multiplan, an early spreadsheet program. Introduced in 1982, Microsoft Multiplan was designed for CP/M, MS-DOS, and other operating systems. The MP file extension was primarily used to store spreadsheet data. Despite its initial popularity, Multiplan was eventually overshadowed by Microsoft Excel. Today, MP files are rare, but they hold historical significance in the evolution of spreadsheet software.

The XLSX file extension, standing for "Excel Spreadsheet", represents a widely used format for Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Introduced in Excel 2007, XLSX replaced the older XLS format, utilizing the Office Open XML (OOXML) standard to store data more efficiently and reduce file size. It supports advanced features such as pivot tables, charts, formulas, and macros, essential for data analysis and reporting in various professional settings. The transition to XLSX provided enhanced security, improved data recovery, and greater compatibility with other software applications, solidifying its status as a pivotal tool in data management and business intelligence.
