Convert XLC to SLK

The XLC file extension stands for "Excel Chart" and is associated with Microsoft Excel. This format was historically used to store chart data and formatting information separately from the main Excel workbook. Originating in earlier versions of Excel, the XLC format allowed for specialized chart manipulation and presentation. However, with advancements in Excel, the need for a separate chart file extension has diminished, and XLC files have become largely obsolete. Modern Excel versions integrate chart data directly within the primary workbook file, simplifying data management and accessibility.

An SLK file, standing for Symbolic Link File, is a specialized file type used primarily in spreadsheet applications to facilitate data exchange. Originally introduced by Microsoft for its Multiplan spreadsheet program in the 1980s, the SLK format was later adopted by other spreadsheet software due to its simplicity and efficiency. These files are composed of ASCII text and include symbolic references to cells, allowing for easy parsing and manipulation of spreadsheet data. The primary use of SLK files is to enable seamless data transfer between different spreadsheet programs, ensuring compatibility and preserving the integrity of the data during exchange.
