What is XLSB File Format?

The XLSB file format is a binary file format used by Microsoft Excel to store spreadsheet data. It stands for Excel Binary Workbook, and it offers several advantages over the more commonly used XLSX format. XLSB files are designed to store data in a binary format, which means they are more compact and load faster than XLSX files.

One of the key benefits of the XLSB format is its efficiency in handling large amounts of data. Since the file is stored in a binary format, it requires less disk space compared to the XML-based XLSX format. This makes XLSB files particularly suitable for workbooks with complex calculations, extensive formulas, or numerous worksheets.

In addition to smaller file size, XLSB files offer improved performance when it comes to opening, saving, and calculating data. The binary format allows for faster data access and manipulation, resulting in quicker operations within Excel.

Furthermore, XLSB files provide enhanced security features. They support password protection at both the workbook and individual sheet levels, allowing users to safeguard their data from unauthorized access or modifications.

It’s worth noting that XLSB files can only be opened and edited in Microsoft Excel, as they are not compatible with other spreadsheet software. However, Excel provides backward compatibility
