The XLW file extension stands for Microsoft Excel Workspace, a format used by Microsoft Excel to save the screen locations of multiple open workbooks, allowing users to restore their layout upon reopening. Introduced in earlier versions of Excel, this feature was discontinued from Excel 2013 onwards, though existing XLW files can still be opened. The primary use of XLW files was to enhance productivity by maintaining an organized workspace with multiple workbooks.
The Data Interchange Format (DIF) file extension is a standardized format used primarily for importing and exporting spreadsheet data between different software applications. Originating in the 1980s, DIF was developed by Software Arts for their pioneering spreadsheet program, VisiCalc. Despite its age, DIF remains relevant due to its simplicity and ease of implementation, facilitating interoperability among various data processing tools. Its structured, plain text nature makes it particularly suitable for transferring tabular data while maintaining data integrity across different platforms.
