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
What is POTM File Format?
POTM is a file format used in Microsoft PowerPoint to store presentation templates that also include macros. Similar to the POTX format, POTM files are part of the Office Open XML (OOXML) format introduced in PowerPoint 2007.
The “M” in POTM stands for macros, indicating that these templates can contain VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code that automates tasks and enhances the functionality of the presentation. This allows users to create dynamic and interactive templates that go beyond static design elements.
POTM files offer the same benefits as POTX files in terms of providing pre-designed slide layouts, formatting, and styles. However, the inclusion of macros adds an extra layer of interactivity and automation to the templates. Macros can perform tasks such as data manipulation, calculations, slide transitions, and user interactions, making presentations more engaging and efficient.
To use a POTM file, users can open it in PowerPoint or select it as a template when creating a new presentation. The macros embedded in the POTM template can be executed and interacted with during the presentation, providing enhanced functionality beyond what is possible with a standard template.
It’s important to note that due to security concerns, some systems and organizations may have restrictions on running macros in PowerPoint presentations. In such cases, users may need to adjust their security settings or obtain necessary permissions to enable the execution of macros in POTM files.
POTM files are compatible with different versions of PowerPoint on various platforms, allowing users to create and share templates with macros across different devices and environments. They provide a powerful tool for creating interactive and automated presentations, offering greater flexibility and customization options for users.
