Convert WB1 to XLSX (Excel)

The WB1 file extension is associated with Corel Quattro Pro, a spreadsheet program developed by Borland and later sold by Alludo. It was used in version 5 of the software, which predates the more recent QPW format. Quattro Pro files, including WB1, are used to store spreadsheets containing data, formulas, and charts. Historically, Quattro Pro competed with Lotus 1-2-3 and Microsoft Excel, offering unique features like tabbed sheets and larger worksheet sizes.

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.
