XLS

XLS files are Excel files that use the Binary Interchange File Format (BIFF). This was the default format for Excel versions 97-2003.

XLS files can have multiple sheets, and each sheet can contain multiple rows and columns of data. They support various data types, including text, numbers, dates, and formulas.

Key features of XLS files include:

  • Works with older versions of Excel and other spreadsheet software
  • Can store formatting information, charts, and macros
  • Smaller file size compared to newer formats like XLSX
  • Limited to 65,536 rows and 256 columns per sheet

While XLS files are still widely used, they're gradually being replaced by the more modern XLSX format.

TSV

Tab-separated values (TSV) is another simple and widely used format for storing tabular data. Like CSV, it's easy to read and create.

Row delimiter

The row delimiter in TSV data is usually a new line character (LF) or a carriage return plus a new line character (CRLF).

We'll automatically detect and parse the rows correctly, so you don't need to worry about it.

Value separator

In TSV files, the value separator is typically a tab character, but it can vary depending on the software used to create the file.

Character encoding

The character encoding of your TSV file might differ based on the software you used to create it.

If you're not sure about the character encoding, don't worry. We'll try to guess it automatically if it's not specified.
