Microsoft Excel Binary Spreadsheet (.xlsb)

An XLSB file is a type of Excel workbook that stores information in binary format. This differs from other Excel files, such as XLSX, which store information in XML format. The binary format allows for faster reading and writing of the file, making it particularly useful for large spreadsheets.

Like other Excel workbook formats, XLSB files can contain multiple worksheets with cells arranged in rows and columns. These cells can contain text, images, charts, and formulas.

To open and edit an XLSB file, you can use Excel version 2007 or newer. If you have an earlier version of Excel, you can still work with XLSB files by installing the free Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack.
