Convert XLSX (Excel) to CSV

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.

The Comma-Separated Values (CSV) file extension, which is pivotal in data management, is used to store tabular data such as spreadsheets or databases. Each line in a CSV file corresponds to a data record, with fields separated by commas. Originating in the early days of personal computing, CSV files were designed for data interchange, enabling ease of data transfer between different software applications. CSV remains a universally supported and straightforward format for data storage and import/export operations due to its simplicity and efficiency.
