Convert WK4 to XLSM

The WK4 file extension, short for Lotus 4 Worksheet, was developed by IBM for its Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet software. These files store data in cells organized into rows and columns, similar to modern spreadsheets. Primarily used for data entry and accounting, WK4 files have become less common with the discontinuation of Lotus 1-2-3. While older versions of Microsoft Excel could import WK4 files, this support was dropped in Excel 2007 and later. Today, specialized converters or older spreadsheet programs like Gnumeric can still open WK4 files.

The XLSM file extension stands for Microsoft Excel Macro-Enabled Spreadsheet. It allows users to automate tasks via macros, enhancing productivity in complex data manipulation and repetitive operations. Introduced with Excel 2007 as part of the Office Open XML format, XLSM files support the embedding of VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macros within spreadsheets. This format offers advanced functionalities for financial analysis, data modeling, and automation within the Microsoft Excel environment, optimizing efficiency for professional use.
