Convert WQ1 to XLSX (Excel)

The WQ1 file extension is associated with Quattro Pro for DOS, a spreadsheet program developed by Borland and later sold by Corel. It stands for "Worksheet Quattro Pro 1" and was used in earlier versions of the software to store data in a grid of rows and columns. These files have since been replaced by WQ2 files in later versions. Quattro Pro for DOS was a competitor to Lotus 1-2-3 and Microsoft Excel, offering advanced features for its time.

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.
