Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (XLSM) is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet permitted to contain VBA macros — code that automates calculations, builds reports, or drives custom buttons and forms. Structurally it is identical to XLSX, a ZIP package of Open XML parts, with one additional component holding the macro project. The distinct extension exists so you can tell at a glance that a workbook is able to run code.
How to open an XLSM file?
Microsoft Excel opens XLSM and displays a security bar asking whether to enable macros. Enable them only when you trust the source, since macro-enabled workbooks are a well-known malware vector.
LibreOffice Calc opens XLSM and shows the data, though VBA macros may not run identically. Google Sheets imports the spreadsheet but strips the macros entirely. To read the figures with no macro risk at all, re-save the file as XLSX or convert it to PDF. You can also convert the file with our XLSM to PDF tool.

Initial Release: 2007
Excel 97-2003 Workbook (XLS) is the original binary spreadsheet format of Microsoft Excel, built on the Binary Interchange File Format and used as the default until Excel 2007. An XLS stores worksheets, formulas, charts, and formatting in one proprietary file, and it can also carry VBA macros. Its main limitations are a ceiling of 65,536 rows per sheet and a greater risk of file corruption than the newer XLSX.
How to open an XLS file?
Current versions of Excel still open XLS in Compatibility Mode and offer to upgrade the file to XLSX.
LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers all read XLS. Because XLS files can contain macros, treat unexpected attachments with caution. Converting your archive keeps it safe and compact — our XLS to XLSX and XLS to PDF tools handle the job.
