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 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.
