Convert Excel to TXT

Excel is Microsoft's spreadsheet format that allows users to organize, analyze, and visualize data in tables. It's widely used in business, finance, and data analysis.

Technical Details

Excel files (.xlsx) are actually ZIP archives containing XML files. They support multiple worksheets, formulas, charts, and macros. The newer XLSX format is based on Office Open XML standards.

Advantages

• Rich formatting and visualization capabilities
• Built-in functions and formulas for data analysis
• Support for charts, PivotTables, and data visualization
• Widely used in business and finance

Limitations

• Proprietary format requiring specific software
• Performance issues with very large datasets
• Version compatibility challenges

TXT (Text) files are simple. They just contain plain text without any formatting.

TXT files have some handy features:

• They work on all operating systems and devices
• They are small and easy to create, change, and read
• There is no formatting, just text
• Any text editor can open and edit them

People often use TXT files for:

• Quick notes and memos
• Making readme files for software projects
• Storing settings information
• Sharing raw data between different systems

TXT files do not have fancy formatting options. But their simplicity makes them perfect when you just need plain text and want to keep file size small.
