What is a .XLSB file?

An .XLSB file is a type of spreadsheet file specifically created by Microsoft Excel, which is a popular software application used for organizing, analyzing, and storing data in a tabular form. The "XLSB" stands for Excel Binary Spreadsheet, indicating that the file is saved in a binary format, which can help with reducing the file size and improving loading times compared to other file formats like .XLSX.

The content of an XLSB file typically includes multiple spreadsheets, each consisting of cells organized in rows and columns. These cells can contain data, formulas, and references to other cells. Additionally, XLSB files can support advanced features such as charts, graphs, and various formatting options to visually enhance the data.

To open an .XLSB file, you can use several programs: 1. **Microsoft Excel 365**: This is the most straightforward option since .XLSB is a native format of Microsoft Excel. Excel provides comprehensive tools for editing and managing spreadsheets.

2. **OpenOffice Calc**: This is a free, open-source office suite that includes Calc, a spreadsheet program that can open and edit XLSB files. However, some advanced features used in Excel might not be fully supported or might appear differently in OpenOffice Calc.

3. **Web**: Although not specified which web applications, some online tools and services allow you to upload and view .XLSB files. However, the functionality might be limited compared to dedicated desktop software like Excel.

4. **Microsoft Word 365**: While primarily a word processing software, Word 365 can open XLSB files, but it is generally not suitable for editing them. It's more used for viewing or copying data from the spreadsheet.

For the best compatibility and feature support, using Microsoft Excel 365 is recommended. If you are looking for a free alternative, OpenOffice Calc can be a viable option.
